If parents decide to buy their children an R18+ game or dvd that is entirely their decision.
The governments place is to educate, inform and recommend.
A parent is quite within their rights to disagree with the government and decide something is acceptable for their child to see/play.
Governments forcibly stopping children from exposure to material is overstepping their boundaries, governments banning adults from exposure to material is dangerous.
Remember we own our government, they don't own us.
Chris Dahlen meets the director of interactive fiction documentary Get Lamp and remembers how rich a world that only costs the time it takes to write it can be.

It'd be nice if they dropped in Australia while they were at it.
New releases here can still RRP at $AU110 which is currently $US101.89 or £61.35.
Most games can be gotten for $AU80/$US74.03/£44.62 if you shop around but it's still ridiculously expensive even at that price.
At time of posting AU$100 is worth US$90.54 or £54.82.
It's ridiculous but we can import a game 6 months before it comes out locally and get a 50% discount for doing so.
