and now because of this article the govt. picked up on this and now have banned MMOs from sale in australia..
nice job...
this is why people need to grow the fuck up with censorship, it shouldnt be up to someone else to decide what and what isnt okay for us to be exposed to
Actually, no, they have not, though some people who have read this and the article in the Sydney Morning Herald are reporting otherwise.
It has been about 8 days since we published this article (and we've been speaking to government bodies about the subject since early December). So far Australia has taken no action to reduce the availability of unrated MMOGs, to the best of our knowledge.
MMOGs remain on sale at retail. In fact, I went to the store and got some photos -- there are more unrated MMOGs stocked on store shelves today than there were the day we published the story.
