On AU Game Ratings

News.com.au reports on the ongoing efforts by some to add an adult rating to the video game classification system in Australia (where the highest current classification is for ages 15 and up), and the efforts by others to prevent such a change. Adding an R18+ rating to games like they have for movies requires an agreement from all of Australia's attorneys-general, but South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson objects, saying, "It certainly does restrict choice to a small degree, but that is the price of keeping this material from children and vulnerable adults. In my view, the small sacrifice is worth it," the AG says. "People are participating and 'acting-out' violence and criminal behaviour when they are playing a video game." Thanks GamesIndustry.biz.
