Australian indie game community organisation Freeplay has been accused of discrimination following the removal of a sponsor hours before its annual showcase event. The organisers of Melbourne International Games Week, which it was part of, have called it "a clear breach" of its code of conduct.

This story has been updated with the public statement from Freeplay. “We reject suggestions that Freeplay acted out of prejudice towards any person or community,” it said. "We regret the manner in which aspects of this process occurred..." No further details regarding its decision were disclosed.
