Hey folks, hope your weekend is coming along nicely. Here’s Stateline South Australia’s piece on introducing an R18+ classification for video games. They speak with Michael Atkinson, Elizabeth Handsley from Young Media Australia, and some gamers. Watch below thanks to No Censorship Australia:
News out of this weeks SCAG meeting is that they will soon release a discussion paper on the proposed introduction of an R18+ rating for video games. EFA will be lodging a submission to SCAG once that paper is released and they are looking to do so with the assistance of gamers. More on that here.
Update: Tim from R18games.com.au has a detailed review of the Atkinson interview here:
Michael Atkinson believes that he is the last remaining bastion of hope for the morals of Australia. He looks around at other countries, seeing a slide into moral decay, violence and corruption, and decides to take a stand against it all… by censoring video games.
