Subject: Official Information request - Hunt: Showdown & Gears 5
 
Requesting electronic copies of information related to the decision to
classify the video game Hunt: Showdown and Gears 5.
 
Information includes written reason; note; Consideration Sheet;
information forwarded by the Film and Video Labelling Body (FVLB);
email/mail to and from FVLB, Crytek, and Microsoft.
 
I am also requesting email/mail to and from FVLB, Crytek, and Microsoft
about this OIA request before the information is released.
 
The Office of Film and Literature Classification probably can see more

screenshots of what the Office of Film and Literature Classification sees
when viewing data about the video games.
