Australians get their say on video game ratings

So_Cynical · 15 December 2009

At last there's a glimmer of hope that we can finally have a realistic classification system for
video games...its a crazy situation to have no R18+ classification for video games.

The Australian public will finally be able to have its say on the issue of an R18+ rating for video games.

The Federal Attorney-General's department has released a public discussion paper on the issue - a move that was first announced in March last year.

Australia is one of the only developed nations without an adult rating for games, and unlike films, anything stronger than MA15+ must be effectively banned.

If you feel strongly about this issue please read the discussion paper, write
a submission, and have our say...link below.

Good news. Hopefully it goes somewhere.

I get all my games on Steam so I don't actually care. If I want Left4Dead2, I can have it.

Censorship sucks.

Things seem to have progressed somewhat since the public was allowed to have their say. Fingers crossed!

And it's about time too...crusty old prudish farts we have for censors

if your region is set to australia you can only get the censored version.

Other region free games are always available for download.
Classification only means traders can now sell it.
p.s Single player COD blackops sucks...bigtime.
