Update on Australia

Thanks to Reddit, word about a new petition regarding the rating of games is quickly spreading. EB games, the country's largest video game retailer, started the petition when they realized that there was so much support for changing the censorship laws.

I suspect that EB games became aware of this movement through the many social media outlets that gamers use. ( my blog being one example =])

Over 50,000 people have responded to the petition, and an overwhelming 84% want the law changed. The Australian government is actually accepting submissions to a discussion paper on their site, and it seems like change is inevitable.

Hopefully, this case of censorship will soon be a thing of the past.
