It may be tedious, but I'm talking about nine year olds who saw people getting dismembered and thought to themselves, "This is boring." I'm no moral crusader, and most kids aren't innocent, those bastards, but come on. They have the same parents who complain about violent video games.
This thread has just degenerated into people who think Australia is somehow a retarded censorship ridden country against actual Australians against the occassional underage idiot who thinks he is mature enough to make his own decisions when it comes for this stuff.
OT: Im glad we as Australians are finally gonna improve our rating systems which will lead to no games being banned and/or edited NOT MORE GAMES BEING CENSORED AND BANNED YOU IGNORANT FOOLS.

BUT I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT AUSTRALIANS ARE RACIST NAZIS WHO FORCE FEED KFC TO BLACK PEOPLE AND THEN KILL JOURNALISTS WHO TRY TO TELL ANYONE!!!Zenode said:
It's good that Australia may be finally able to ensure that legal adults can make decisions about the type of media they consume instead of that decision being taken away by an antiquated rating system. I hope these talks work out.
I've got a good feeling about them too. Michael Atkinson's out of the picture and one of the dudes fronting one of the gaming lobby groups, Electronic Frontiers Australia, seems like a sharp dude. I heard a radio interview from him where he explained simply and clearly to make the presenter, who obviously was clueless about video games, to understand his organisation's stance and even what video games are. That's key of course, games are mostly shunned due to a lack of understanding. If that can get accross there's really no reason that logic can't finally prevail.

What? Didn't they tell you? Macca's on annual leave and fucked off to Bali until mid-January.Marq said:
nah, should be okay. If he gets into trouble he can bribe his way out of it with the 5 kilos of smack I had to help him hide up his arse.Marq said:
If you were a real Australian you'd know you don't just leave a mate to try and shove 5 kilos of smack up his arse without any help.Cobbs said:
"One game, Left 4 Dead 2, is a first-person shoot-em-up, as they are known in the gaming world, that was initially banned, then changed to MA 15+ with a warning of "strong bloody violence". Following the reclassification, the Classification Board received 17 complaints that the game was no different to the original."
Umm... What version of the Australian release did those 17 people play? I want it!

It's actually not a good thing. They're just moving all MA games to R rating. So we still have a problem.
Indeed the Australian government would never dream of leaving one of it's citizens to rot in some foreign prison. Especially if they're imprisoned without charges.Marq said:
Thats it, thats just it. I'm done, I'm completely fucking done with this country and it's stupid government.
You know they seriously are trying to reduce our internet speed by 50% to 80% because they think it will help prevent child pornography.
So really does America now have room for me? I'm taking the next plane their xD

Ah no... they're moving the games that should be under the R18+ rating to it and (hopefully) uncensoring them in the process.SL33TBL1ND said:
All future games will then fall under the correct ratings and will not need to be censored.
GOOD THING.
yes, minors can still get their hands on the games but it's harder and parents can clearly see the restrictions and it's their fault (bad parenting) if they are purchasing for their children.
