It was just yesterday when we reported that Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number, the awaited sequel of Hotline Miami by Dennaton Games, was banned in Australia due to a rape scene and extremely violent content.

After a long post on Devolver Digital's blog, in which the publisher responded to the ban, the game designer Jonatan Söderström suggested players "pirate" the game.

The suggestion came in response to an e-mail from a Hotline Miami fan (reported on Reddit), in which Söderström replied with: "Just pirate it".

And it was him for real, as confirmed by a Devolver Digital PR on Twitter, saying to Ars Technica that it's not the first time Söderström has suggested this kind of solution to play banned games.
