VBlank Entertainment says that getting a game rated for a new region is expensive, takes a lot of time, and is overall out of reach for them at this point. Because of that, their retro-fitted, retro-homage, retro-everything downloadable game Retro City Rampage will NOT be going to Australia, despite widespread critical acclaim for the XBLA and PSN release stateside.

Even still, the game will be coming to WiiWare later this year. Maybe, just maybe if it sells well enough they’ll reconsider in the future? Wii U perhaps?

A lot of people sell their in-game MMO items for real money. It’s sort of common among players of games like World of Warcraft, with some entire accounts netting hundreds (or even thousands!) of dollars for people. Square Enix, however, doesn’t want any of that going on in their Dragon Quest MMO, Dragon Quest X.

So far, the company has “seized” 19.2 million “gold” from being sold and has closed the accounts that were attempting to make some profit from a game they didn’t make. Whoever was buying the gold was probably planning on using it to build a house, buy some land, or get some cool new weapons.

This stuff sounds awfully silly to me! Doesn’t Square Enix have anything better to worry about!?
