...and Australian gamers may just be shitting brix (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/99288-Michael-Atkinson-Steps-Down)

Well this is good news, both for the gamer population in Australia and for those who were fed up with his tireless ultra-conservative mindset.

Does this mean L4D2 will get unbanned in Australia soon?

It already was unbanned.... Valve made it pass the censorship guidelines.

That cuts out half the new features of L4D2...

I'm not in the know about L4D though, since I don't play it at all. Shows how much I know!

Australia got a nerfed version of L4D and it's been classified and sold so they won't be able to add new gore to it (especially considering they haven't even passed an R rating yet).

and hence why i'm not jumping for joy.
Its still likely to be several terms and months off, before it just sorta happens.

the closed minded retards that put that fucking fool in office are still voting and still talking about the good old days when it was scandalous to see a women's ankle.

I'd never heard of this guy before I became a regular viewer of Zero Punctuation. Judging by all I've heard, though, this bodes well for all Australian gamers. That's assuming the next guy isn't just as much of an anti-video-game fascist.
