Forums - Gaming - Modern Warfare 2 to be banned in Australia

dude i live in saudi arabia where britneyspears.com is blocked! but we never ever censor or block games, it's just plain pathetic and stupid. Hell we don't even have a game rating system.

This issue in Australia is not that simple.  We don't have an R (18+) rating for games.  It means that any game that rates above 15+ can't be stocked on a store shelf and this is a virtual death for any game that might get released in the country. The only alternative in order to get the game released is for developers to self-censor the game and submit it for re-rating. Even if this isn't done you can still get the games online (even Australian sites) and it's not illegal to do so.

So in the end if you really want a game you can always get it, BUT it is pathetic and stupid that some people think they have the right to decide what other adults play and watch.

Well that's bad news for me. It better not be banned otherwise I'm just getting screwed over by this crap here at Australia.



LMAO instead of banning games why don't they just have a new rating system with game like this being 18+ and have store clerks enforce the ratings.
