Today I was reading about Hotline Miami 2 on Wikipedia, check this out:
>On 15 January 2015 it was reported that because of the implied rape scene, the game had been refused classification in Australia, which prohibits sale within the country, effectively preventing its wide release there. In an official statement from Devolver Digital and Dennaton Games the creators mentioned that they have added a cut and uncut option for the slasher-flick level. Dennaton also reconfirmed that the context of the scene is important and that they were "concerned and disappointed" by the actions of the Classification Board, stating it stretched the facts in its judgment of the game. The statement concluded with Dennaton confirming that they will not challenge the ruling. Developer Dennaton Games have since suggested that people in Australia interested in the game should pirate it if they are unable to purchase a retail copy.

TLDR:
Australia banned because RAPE! so the developers suggested that interested Australians pirate their game.
Yeah, but where's the level editor?

Cactus put up a download for new patched versions in the comments section of TPB and basically said he understands what it's like to not be able to buy games.
Pretty awesome guy really, but I'm still kinda salty about the HM2 Editor being a letdown.

Plus the Talos Principle, which is also by Croteam and a really good puzzle game.
Devolver do publish an interesting selection of games, at the very least.
CD project red also seem really from what I've heard.

didn't the dude behind the game (Cactus?) say something similar about the first game, or like helping out pirates having trouble running their bootlegged copies?

That's all interesting but in the end HM was a shit game and basically an AI exploitation simulator
