Rockstar’s
red-headed
step-child
Bully
has
resurfaced
via
two
ratings
boards,
sparking
hope
that
a
remaster
could
be
on
the
way.
However,
it
isn’t
quite
that
simple.

Australia
rated
Bully
(Canis
Canem
Edit)
on
August
2nd
for
a
platform
that
wasn’t
specific.

Gematsu
also
spotted
that
Taiwan
had
rated
Bully
for
PS4,
PS5,
Xbox
One,
Xbox
Series
S/X
and
and
PC.
The
Xbox
360
version
of
the
cult
classic
was
also
rated
again,
though
Gematsu
believes
that
to
in
error.

Naturally
this
gave
rise
to
speculation
that
Rockstar
might
be
launching
a
new
edition
of
the
game,
perhaps
similar
to

last
year’s
re-release
of
Red
Dead
Redemption.

Bully
is
already
actually
available
on
a
few
modern
platforms,
too,
much
like
RDR.
It
can
be
played
on
PS4
via
a
PS2-emulated
edition,
for
example,
and
Bully:
Scholarship
Edition
is
on
Steam.

However,
there
is
actually
a
far
more
reasonable,
albeit
incredibly
disappointing
reason
for
this
new
ratings;
Rockstar
announced
on
August
1st
that
Bully
will
be
added
to
its
GTA+
subscription
service
on
August
20th.
It
seems
very
likely
that
this
new
ratings
have
something
to
do
with
this.

This
has
also
sparked
discussion
though,
with
some
people
arguing
that
Rockstar
wouldn’t
need
to
get
new
ratings
if
they
are
just
releasing
existing
versions
of
the
game
onto
their
service.
As
someone
who
doesn’t
know
much
about
the
legalities
behind
the
ratings
system,
this
sounds
like
a
reasonable
argument
