I'll second that motion. I read a statement from Eb games saying that basically left 4 dead 2 sales were abysmal due to the censoring and it's really cut them deep. In our economic state I should think that the government should be doing all that it can to keep gamers money (which is a $1b industry in Australia) within our economy instead of forcing us to importing, piracy and the general need for sending our money elsewhere

We better get an R rating for games, they need to realise not all games are played by people under the age of 18.
And I agree with Linthart, I read what EB had to say about it and agree. More people would resort to importing/pirating the game because they don't want the censored abortion that is the version we have been given. If I want a game, I want to play it the way that the creators intended, and not a watered down version of it.

One of the crazy things is all this is the double-standards going on; films have an R rating but games don't.
The logic that by not introducing an R rating for games in order to "protect" children is also flawed.

Most parents don't even realise that there is no R rating for video games. Ridiculous innit.Originally Posted by Sam
Have your say everyone, the more we say we want one, they will have to take it seriously.

Yeah it sucks... It's taking forever for my import of Left4Dead2 to arrive...
Apparently it's pretty simple to unlock the restriction on the Australian PC censored version anyway.
Which brings us to where we are today...
