Postal goes online to get rid of bans

Posted on Thursday, 24 November 2005 by Speed, source: Fragland.net

Running With Scissors, the developers of the Postal series, has decided to start selling their games online in cooperation with Softwrap. This to counter the bans their games have gotten in several countries.

From now on, you can get the old game for $10 and Postal 2 plus expansion for $20 each through the online store.

The game caused outraged amongst campaigners against violence in the media when it was first released in 1996, and was banned in 13 countries including Australia, New Zealand and Korea. But despite the ban, Postal went on to sell more than 1 million copies, and a sequel and expansion pack later followed.

I wouldn't be surprised if several governments won't be too happy with this step but I doubt RwS will care much about them :)
