In which countries is Postal 2 banned?

[XenKsen]

Recently I've seen that Postal 2 is banned in some countries as Australia and New Zealand. I wonder if the game is banned in Austria or any other countries?

What Nations have banned postal?

Ik Germany has tho what other nations? Did any middle eastern nation ban them solely due to the taliban?

Malaysia, Australia, Germany, New Zealand and Sweden, I believe.

>>>Australia.
Yet people can still buy it from steam. Like Australia got the R rating system a few years back. But games that are still 'R' get edited and or banned still. Like Hotline Miami 2 for example

Didn't Saudi Arabia ban it?

In most cases they Edit the game, Kind of like Mortal Kombat 1 Console release, The blood was ether removed or recolored to "Sweat". I seem to recall the game getting banned then released without blood but in the cause of High Impact Violence, They can't really take that out of the game.

Same can be said about Baltic countries, since no matter how violent games are - they are always welcome there on Steam, even Postal ones. Even my country, Latvia, doesn't care about how cruel these games are. :)

Don't they just generally have a blanket ban on all forms of entertainment?
