Sign the Petition for an R18+ Games Classification http://evem.org.au/games/grow-up-australia-sign-the-petition-for-an-r18-games-classification/ http://evem.org.au/games/grow-up-australia-sign-the-petition-for-an-r18-games-classification/#comments Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:39:52 +0000 xtro http://evem.org.au/?p=177 EB Games appears to have joined forces with the Grow Up Australia campaign and is promoting their petition to the Australian government to have a classification for games that matches the one we have for movies. The notable omission from our current game classification system is R18+.

Instead these games get an RC rating: Refused Classification. And since the government seems to be on the war path against Refused Classification material — the proposed mandatory web filter will prohibit RC material — it’s important to get an R18+ rating. And since the average age of Australian gamers is 30, it’s not like the children will suffer.

Sign the petition now!
