"With the release of the Government’s discussion paper, we knew as a company that we needed to act on this issue as it continues to cripple our industry and cost local jobs," Wilson continued. "We did however want to be sure that our customers were as passionate about the matter as we are."
Hopefully this gets the attention of parents or others who may not be aware of the issue. Good to see this kind of support though.

No but seriously whether we have an 18+ classification or not my money is still going to be going overseas, simply because i don't fancy paying twice as much for the same product just to keep local jobs.
Give me 18+ PLUS prices inline with the rest of the world and then i'll think about it.

This is hilarious, hahaha.
Also, yeah this is top notch. A big company getting behind the debate AND also putting their own view out there is big news.
Still won't shop there, lol. But good one em.

Is it just me or does it seem like a lot of chicks are playing TF2 lately? By a lot I mean nearly always one per team of 16, at least on the Payload servers I play on (game.on.net and 3fl).
Maybe it's always been that way with online games, you just haven't known because they don't speak. But now it's pretty much acceptable to speak to randoms and VOIP is popular.

I never buy anything from there, having to swim through crowds to look at shelves.
Course this will just mean more overpriced games on the shelves of theig overly cramped stores.
Ah f***it, I'm off to go play Strip Magic: The Gathering.

I'm in EB all the time, mostly getting the info on what's been recently released.
LOL @ buying anything from there though.
Kids dragging their parents into the store for an impulse buy seems pretty common.

The internet is pretty good for that.

Don't get me wrong, i thinks its good thing that they have done.. i mean to say.. they didn't have to..
Anything that shines more light on the 18+ debate is good.. right?

Yeah I guess I could look on the internet but I usually just wander in when I'm out and about anyway. I don't go directly to EB and then head home again.

I think it's fantastic EB have gotten behind it, the more coverage the better, tell everybody!

I think this could be the break that R18+ rating need in Aus. Who knows? We might have R18 games introduced this year even!

Atkinson sensationally says he is more scared of gamers than bikers, both of which are groups he's busy persecuting and demonizing.

Just because I like to game including violent ones too, doesn't mean I'm into that stuff in real life. In fact I'm a pretty nice guy, as are my other gamer mates.
Look at electric retard.com though, and I hate that site - it's f***ed up. Just because gamers like R18+ material, doesn't mean they condone all the actions that are portrayed within.
