All i can say is that im glad i dont live there for that reason. They almost seem as bad as the chinese gaming regulation people. And games are really expensive there.

Lol, what an absolute rubbish reason to base your decision upon. Notice they're still on the shelves. No-one cares about this except Massively. And nothing would've happpened if they hadn't gone all 60 Minutes about it...

Do you actully know what your talking about?

the OFLC are nothing like chinese gaming regulators, the only issuse we have here is that there is no 18+ classification for games.

None of the games mentioned above were ever stoped form being sold here in australia, and they did not make any publisher jump tho the hoops that the chinese goverment has with blizz recently!
Infact its quite the opposite, they never inforced the law on any of these games, as acording to australian law anything without a classifcation is not aloud to be sold.
This is nothing more then an intresting law qurik.

and as for them being exprensive, we pay just as much as you in the states (less most of the time if you factor in exchange rates)

So save yourself looking stupid and think befor opening your mouth next time

The reason why most games are expensive are because of exchange rates and shipping fees.

But I have to say that their rating on games are a bit over the top. Like I remember the Sims being rated Teenager in Europe, was rated M in Australia.
Then again, the same can go for movie ratings there too.....

But I really don't know how they "rate" MMOs. It's oddly pointless. This game is rated M, but game experience may change during online play......

Not move to Australia for that reason? sheesh. I'd move there in a second. If I knew I could get a job.
