It's got nothing to do with us Australian's being way to sensitive we where the first country to show full frontal nudity on prime time TV that left 4 dead article is 9 years old and was at a time where the attorney general of one state South Australia was stopping a nationwide 18R certificate for games when he was thrown out of office we got one.

Fine, then the ones that regulates games, the part of the government that is responsible for it, is way too sensitive.Or they are simply hypocrites.Or dumb.Either way, this decision is simply stupid, especially after what you said.

The problem lies with the guidelines , that prohibit  incentivising of drug use and sexual assault as part of the game play , now on the surface that doesn't  seem like a bad thing but the problem arises with the strict implementation , the counter argument from the govt is we have these prohibitions because it's interactive unlike film hence the emphasis on the game play benefit to the drug rather than the drug itself.

Because so few games fall into this category it won't get much backlash. my take is there are lots more threats to our children than taking a pill in a game for benefit and isn't the18+ category supposed to minimise content getting in the hands of children, who lets face see taking say morphine , med x call it what you will in a game to bolster yourself is just another gameplay mechanic that's frankly so widespread they don't even notice it anymore.
