Here’s why. For decades, conversation about domestic violence rightly focused on women. When it comes to men, the conversation is mostly about punishment—how long should a perpetrator go to prison for, and so on. All of this is, of course, entirely appropriate, especially in extreme situations, up to and including like murder. But we also need to remember that only tiny proportion of domestic abuse actually culminates in murder. Much more of it remains hidden from sight....

The game isn’t without its mature content, however, and in the time between the original planned release in November 2013 and the revised release date of May 27, 2014, the Australian Classification Board has reclassified Watch Dogs from an MA15+ rating to an R18+ certificate, due to new content that includes sexual violence. Based on the report by Kotaku Australia, it sounds like the sexual violence is largely implied rather than shown and the aggressor is a non-player character, which is probably why it escaped censorship or even an outright ban....
