EA Games president, Frank Gibeau, is a strong advocate for the introduction of an R18+ rating for games in Australia and has some compelling arguments.
As reported by Edge, Gibeau says, "government policies that don't allow for the rating of mature content in videogames effectively censor entertainment choices for adults. These policies show a poor understanding of today's videogaming audience."
“Governments don’t insist that all books be written for children, or that all television shows be cartoons. Adult gamers want their governments to treat them with the same respect they get as movie goers and book readers. Adult Australians should be allowed to choose the games they play, including those with mature themes."
“A change in the Australian age rating system is needed.”
Interestingly enough, the topic will be raised when the Standing Committee of Attorneys-General meets today. However, it's a long, long process.
