Jun 18th 2012,
This is the date it finally happened, the day many of us have been waiting a long time for, the day that the R18 rating legislation for video games has passing Federal Parliament.
Previously, the highest rating for computer games has been MA15+ meaning overseas adult-only games are usually banned here or given a lower classification, The new laws bring computer games in line with the classification system for films and other material and make Australia more consistent with international standards which should make it easier for publishers to release games here in Australia.
With these changes set to take place on the Jan 1st 2013, I don't know about you but I cant wait to see what the first game to be released under the new rating classification post Jan 1st and I think that you will agree that the video below sums it up nicely ![]()
You can read the full statement regarding the R18 legislation from the Ministers for Home Affairs Website .
Cheers
