From today, consumers will be able to sign a petition that will be used to lobby the Government to introduce an R18+ classification category for computer games.
This petition is in response to the Government’s discussion paper and calls for submissions on the topic of: Should the Australian National Classification Scheme include an R 18+ classification category for computer games?
When asked why EB Games has chosen to take the unprecedented step of supporting this issue with an instore and online campaign, Managing Director Steve Wilson responded,
“Because our customers asked us to.”
Steve continued, “With the release of the Government’s discussion paper, we knew as a company that we needed to act on this issue as it continues to cripple our industry and cost local jobs. We did however want to be sure that our customers were as passionate about the matter as we are.”
All petitions must be received by 14th February, 2010.
