Re: Factual question
Posted By: Capo RipDate: 3/8/05 8:26 a.m.

In Response To: Factual question (SPARTAN-01110101)

: which are states known for conservatism. Certain nations (notably
: Australia and some European nations) have banned or restricted the sale of
: “violent” games, but by and large these are not conservative nations.

The problem with video game censorship in Australia stems roughly from a conservative ideology amoung those in state and national parliaments who apoint the members of our ratings boards. Most of the time it isn't a problem and appropriate age-groups can get hold of the games they want to play, but now and again a politician will take notice of a particular game, it will be all over the media, and the ratings boards will be pressured into "reclassifying" the title.

We have virtually all the violent games anyone else has, however. It's actually sex that the conservatives can't tolerate, even in games that would be restricted to adults. Make no mistake - by virtue of its government, Australia has become a very conservative country.
