Author Topic: Australian Censorship MY ASS.  (Read 5700 times)

WELL, thanks to the government I could loose my Steam access as well as epic games >:| Not to mention the lag we'll get online.

I always hear about this "Stop our children from seeing bad things on the net" but never expected for this to go overboard.

Edit: ANY GAME over the 15+ rating is instantly banned from Australia, includes digital access to it as well. To explain slightly better.

What if you're over 15/18/etcc? I didn't bother reading all of it.

flash-based web games

If they actually want to take the time to block every single instance of a flash game which no doubt is on millions of websites at a time, they are wasting too much time and should be paying attention to real issues, instead of being our loving video game babysitters.

That's just horrible.

I saw one of the websites:
It's injuring our community and our liberty! It is broken.

I actually laughed at that.

The title should read 'Labour government to lose next election due to draconian censorship policies'.

God damn that's a bunch of bullstuff. I'd miss you and Clockturn and all of the other Australian guys =[

You wouldn't be banned from steam

They would just let you not see or buy 15+ games

Australia is like one big stuffty school

If Steam has an Australian based site then MAYBE but if not, BAN.
