This is just a pretext to the star wars/mass effect crossover game...

Can you really copyright the name of a few century's old childrens game?

@Jennacide

No, because copyright is claiming creator rights. That isn't what they're doing here, the title is more likely a metaphor for some aspect of the game design.

This must be how Square-Enix makes their decisions.

@Bielzer Dynamite with a cuttable wick is actually supposed to replace paper, not scissors...

This is just the classification for The Old Republic, Paper, Scissors, Stone is just a codename they used. They obviously wanted to submit it for classification under a codename because last I heard they were having difficulty setting up local servers in Australia, and announced that they wouldn't be launching The Old Republic in Australia just yet.

To me this just says that if or when they get servers set-up in Australia, they already have the classification for the game to undergo release in Australia.

Which makes no sense at all. EA has servers in Australia. Warhammer Online had Aussie servers.

Plus TOR's had a rating for a few months. It's rated T, so no worries about hiding a M-rating.

@RogueJedi86 The T for Teen rating is the ESRB rating which means little outside the US. Australia has it's own rating system, in which M is the equivalent for the US's T for Teen.

G, PG, M, M15+, R18+, X18+

All except R18+ and X18+ are applicable to games. The last two are only used for films.
