Australia is already known as a country that won't allow certain games to be sold because of their lack of a adult rating for game titles. Many games, including the above Fallout 3, have to be edited in order to comply with Australia's MA15+ rating. Now a new media report states that the country's government is moving to go beyond just monitoring retail games.

According to a story on TheAge.com.au, the government is thinking about censoring web sites that sell games beyond the MA15+ ratings along with Flash games and downloadable titles. This could affect MMO games such as World of Warcraft and others which are currently exempt from the ratings system. Naturally this move has angered many in the country. Electronic Frontiers Australia spokesperson Colin Jacobs stated, "Far from being the ultimate weapon against child abuse, it now will officially censor content deemed too controversial for a 15-year-old. In a free country like ours, do we really need the government to step in and save us from racy web games?"
