Free-to-play MMO Crimecraft is yet another game that has been refused classification in Australia. The reason behind this decision is "drug use related to incentives or rewards".

The Classification Board has stated that "drug use related to incentives or rewards" is the reason why gangster-themed MMO Crimecraft has been refused classification in Australia.

According to the Board’s report obtained by Kotaku this afternoon, Crimecraft "contains the option to manufacture, trade and self-administer legal "medicines" and illegal "boosts"… Boosts are sometimes referred to as "drugs" both in the game and in the Applicant’s submissions to the Board."

One type of boost is called Anabolics, which the Board notes "is named after a class of proscribed drugs and that the Applicant describes boosts as "like real-life steroids". In addition, the names of boosts mimic the chemical and colloquial names of proscribed drugs."
