MMO's to be banned in Australia?

Jesus, as if the local gaming industry hasn't taken enough blows in the last year or so...

Looks like some morons have gotten it into their heads that because MMO's aren't strictly rated by the governing bodies that they should be made illegal.

Censorship in this country is getting worse by the minute.

Thank God.

I don;t play MMO's (don't have the time or the hardware for it) but I'd hate to see another section of the video game market get trampled by these idiots.

I dont think it should be banned... just controlled more, slightly... in a way.

Fucking kotaku and their sensationalist headlines.

Most people probably dont read their articles.

As far as the issue, too many people in this country working jobs where they obviously dont have enough meaningfulwork  to keep busy with. Fukcing Ignorant Beurocrats.

Oh man, we had enough problems with Michael 'All games are bad' Atkinson.   Now this?  Things just keep getting better for us Aussies.  Truth betold, I'm far more concerned with 'F.E.A.R 2:Project Origin'.  last I heard, the game was refused classification.  I want that game, but I'd prefer an un-censored version.

Kotaku are a fucking joke, no one should take any of their stories seriously anyway, besides the ones they just copy/paste from other places.

lol

It's in Oz, which means I don't have to care.

Wow that sucks! (No pun intended)
