  • MMO's Banned in Australia!

    http://www.smh.com.au/news/technolog...423203018.html


    Video game publishers and retailers are risking hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines by illegally selling online role playing games such as World of Warcraft without age classifications.
    The games industry believes there is a legal loophole exempting online games that don't have a single player component from classification requirements but this view is contradicted by the federal and state attorneys-general.
    The spokesman added that enforcement of the act was the responsibility of police but penalties for breaking these laws ranged from $1100 to $11,000 for individuals and/or 12 months' imprisonment. For corporations the fines were approximately double.
    "If there is any suggestion that any business is trading illegally, police need to know, and it should be reported," he said.

    12months jailtime for selling WoW... seems fair.

                      Doesn't take much to put an age classification on games that don't have one.

                        Either MMO's are banned or they can slap a number on the WoW games.

                        YES ITS FAR MORE LIKELY THAT MMOS WILL BE BANNED!!

                            ffs.. It is a little more involved than "slapping a number on it", they have to rate every aspect of the game according to set guidelines.
                            This will happen, but as it is RIGHT NOW, these games are TECHNICALLY ILLEGAL/BANNED.

                            bunch of retarded douchefuks, i swear.
