R18+ rating for video games for Australia

Recommended Posts

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-07-22/games-rating-agreement/2806200

 

In a country where the average age of a gamer is 30, the government has actually listened to the public for once, and after 10 years of debate, we'll finally be getting a R18+ rating for video games. Just like every other western world country.

 

Gratz us.

 

As someone who contacted Attorney-Generals, members of Parliament and participated in government discussion papers on this issue, this decision is one that makes my day.

Gratz indeed, and about damn time too :D

 

I find it amazing that at this stage to the general public, gaming is still percieved as being something that generally only kids do. Sad but true.

I hate that the public generally views people who play games in their free time as stereotypical gamers. Y'know, they automatically assume that person has no social life and is a miserable loser. There are a few sad sobs out there who are but it's unfair for the majority of us who just play them as a hobby. Work, School, Etc. all take priority over it.
