Look at this guy's face - he's obviously retarded.

He sees violence or gambling and immediatelly thinks those somehow affect the young mind. Probably never played a video game anyways, lol.

Good luck at making a tax that affects only some video games - it's stalling the industry and won't pass since it's non-equal treatment.

And games are expensive enough as it is, a brand new big title is usually $100-$150 in Australia now, I MEAN C'MON.

Nahh i'm going to live in australia until we finally inhabit other planets or space.
Judging by the speed of technological growth, it's not far away, I can just wait until my brain gets put it in a robot body and power off until they do so anyway.


Dr. Sheldon Cooper I presume? /jk

On Topic: Interesting idea, but how will they limit/regulate it? For example are some of the driving simulators violent if you get points for crashing into cars? NFS vs GTA? Bah go for it :P

Putting a tax on violent videogames wont make parents care.
They're still going to buy little Billy the next CoD and a new headset so he can go yell at everyone over XBL in his high pitched little voice as he swears every second word.


Warning! Spoiler inside.

Um.... So does this mean most educational games are going to be more expensive just because they're rating T+?
