Following the ban of yet another mature game - Piranha Bytes' RPG Risen - , the president of the Game Developers Association of Australia called his country's classification system for videogames "awful", "ridiculous" and "antiquated".
"We are once again caught in this awful, ridiculous web of the antiquated classification system that we all have to endure," GDAA's president Tom Crago said.
"Here in Australia the sooner that changes, the better; it is obviously a battle to ensure common sense prevails. We will get there eventually, but in the meantime as gamers in Australia we suffer, and to be honest we are embarrassed at how backward our government is..."
"We are the butt of a lot of jokes," Crago complained. "I travel; obviously a lot, talking to other developers and publishers and people cannot believe it that we still have this ridiculous system here in Australia, designed twenty or thirty years ago, and hasn't changed since."
