Australia's Atkinson Has No Time For Nerds

I honestly have no freaking clue what Atkie's talking about. What game encourages steroid abuse? I have yet to run into a sports game that does such. I haven't ran into a game where you rape a mother and her 2 daughters either (Thankfully.), nor have I ran into a game that rewards you for blowing yourself up.Broloth said:
Except that somehow, Atkinson is more of douche than Uwe Boll.Eatbrainz said:
That takes a lot of douchebaggery to be worse than Uwe Boll.
The rape game is the notorious 'RapeLay'. Japanese game that is only available in Japan I believe, despite the R18+ rating being employed in many other countries. Just because it's R18+ doesn't mean all games are automatically accepted.presidentjlh said:
The drug/sports game is called Blitz: The League, a sports game where you could use drugs to boost performance, but if you got busted there were harsh penalties. The beneficial drug use is also what got Fallout 3 changed. Med-X and Jet weren't originally called that, but in fact used the proper names of drugs.
I don't know about the other 2 really.
He is a bit of a cock end isn't he.
Then again I live in Australia and only a few games (Worth mentioning) experience the might of the governemnt.
And is it just me or did the whole demand for an R rating and for mikeys blood all come to a head when left 4 dead 2 was banned then censored here?

You have to wonder how wrong somebody can be. I mean, where are the limits? At what point does Atkinson just explode and become a Dwarf Star as the universe attempts to correct its horrible, horrible mistake?
As you might have guessed, I'm not a fan of his. The issue here is so much bigger than gaming-this goes right to free speech and expression. While I'm well aware many places do not actually have free speech legislation, in my opinion they all SHOULD. Everyone should have the right to create whatever they want (keeping in mind that it's all fake, people. Like with movies). If people don't want to see it (and it's rated for adults) they can always not look. If people don't want their kids getting a game they shouldn't be playing, maybe the parents should do their freaking job and put a little time and effort into protecting their kids.
But really, by this point? It's all Atkinson. It's all him. R ratings do nothing but properly classify materials. With the system Australia currently has, games get improperly classified all the time as companies make "quick fix" adjustments to formerly R18+ games and they get classified as 15+ or whatever. That's just stupid.
