[citation][nom]shin0bi272[/nom]Right because not wanting your kids to be exposed to excess violence and sex is "ignorant". But I guess its easy to point the finger at others when you have no morals yourself.[/citation]

so, you allow your Kids access to R18+ adult only material? else how do they get their hands on these Excess Violence and Sex games? I don't see how this means your kids will get exposed to this? having an R18+ games will in fact mean that if a game has too much voilence they can rate it as R18+ and only adults can get it, instead of highly voilent games being toned down to what they deam as MA15+ just to get it into the country. Unless you think that the entire world should ban everything you deem to be unsuitable for your children. even though they should never even see unless a parent buys it for them.

Funny, I've played seriously violent games throughout my childhood, and I turned out fine. It's ridiculous how inflated people/media make these things seem.
Pfft, and besides, morals aren't set in stone. Morals are just certain rules we come up with to deem what is and isn't acceptable in our society. Don't try act all smart and accuse someone of not having morals when you don't even know the person(s) in the first place, shows your naivety.

Go look at what's in your bible, and I don't mean what behaviour it features; I mean what behaviour it actually mandates.

I wonder what will happen to the people who already bought games like on Steam or something? will they automatically download the correct version of the games finally or will they have to buy the whole games over again?

yeah bec ause religion is a shinning becon of morals. reading the bible exposes one to more violance and sex then a video game and a more sickening variation. As far as the ignorance goes.. i have seen enough anti gay churches around me to be exposed to extreem amounts of ignorance. Im sorry you were saying again?

[citation][nom]NuclearShadow[/nom]Great news, while I do think games aimed for adults should be kept out of the hands of children keeping them away from adults as well is just foolish.[/citation]

Since when has there ever been Morphine in Fallout? I haven't played much Fallout 3, but I played the first 2 extensively and there was no Morphine.

It first appearance was in Fallout 3. It was morphine until F3 was refused classification because if the references to real world drugs. Hence rather than making a censored version for AU and uncensored for the rest of the world, they renamed it to Med X and that became part of the international release.
