I agree that bringing in 18+ rating is the way to go, but at the same time this twat in SA keeping it out to protect the children is crap. just like the internet filter will be a waste of time and money that could be better spent on something else. Oh and dont forget that the legal age to drink is 18 aswell, and this is to protect our children. and i dont have to tell anyone how wonderfully well this law works. at the end of the day, why fight a battle that no one can win. The games are going to come in one way or another. The porn and other crap will continue to flow throught the internet filters. and the underage will continue to drink like nothing can hurt them without even the thought of consequences.
If they can not 100% garantee that this stuff will work and serve the purpose it was designed for then they should not make a stupid statement about the 18+ is to protect our children from harm. They will get it anyways, with or without the law. so they should just consider the fact that the age group that does want the extra content can get it and do so without going around corners to get. If parents are so concerned about thier children then dont get them anything that they can use for it. Or only let them use it under the parents supervision. God only knows that kids these days dont have that much time to spend with parents, so i could not hurt.
Meh. i dont care. if i want to get 18+ games, i can get them. Oh the wonderful world of EBay.
