UPDATE: Games industry legal professional, Josh Cavaleri, has confirmed for me over Twitter that the publishers will not need to front the cost of the re-review. No, the Australian taxpayers will foot the bill. What a way to use our money, folks.
Twelve MA15+ rated games are going to go through a re-review process, following the South Australian Attorney General's request to have them reconsidered. This decision to make the request was "under the guidance of the Australian Council on Children and the Media (ACCM)" - or in other words publishers are about to go through a costly process out of a 'concern for the children' (which is amusing because most children can't access these games as is).
