EA Games Label president Frank Gibeau said the changes in the videogame ratings system in Australia, where adult-themed games are generally forbidden, required and called for the introduction of rating of + 18

"At EA, we are committed to the belief that adult consumers may have a responsibility to their entertainment choices. Just as adults can decide to see a movie or reading a book with adult themes, so he should have the same right to vote in interactive entertainment," wrote Gibeau onGI.biz.

Government policy "which does not allow for ranking adult content in video games to effectively censor entertainment options for adults. These policies indicate a poor understanding of videogaming audience today," Gibeau added.

"Governments don't insist that all books be written for children, or that all television shows be cartoons. Adult gamers want their governments to treat them with the same respect as movie goers and book readers. Adult Australians should be allowed to choose the games they play, including those with mature themes.

"A change in the Australian age rating system is needed," he concludes.
