The
Australian Broadcasting Corporation has word that the federal and state governments in Australia have reached an in-principle agreement to provide an R18+ rating for video games, after years of debate over how to bring adult games to the territory. "The introduction of an R18+ classification for computer games will provide better advice to parents and help prevent children and teenagers from accessing unsuitable material," said Federal Justice Minister Brendan O'Connor. "Once introduced, the new classification will also afford adults the opportunity to view material designed for adults."
