I recently heard that Half-Life 2 was nearly banned from being released in Australia due to receiving a mature (MA 18+) rating by ESRB, due to its violent content. It was approved for sale since some European rating system gave it a 15+ rating, at least according to G4-TechTV/GSpot or whatever the fuck that channel is called now. So do not question me on its authenticity.
The question that rises is: should games with mature ratings be banned from stores? Or should they only be sold to adults? Or neither? Discuss... or die.
Keep in mind that this is not a discussion about wether violent games are evil or whatever, but rather if they should be sold to the general public or not.
