I am glad to have helped keep some attention on this matter and I am encouraged that this is becoming more and more debated, even in Parliament which I believe is a huge step forward.
Atkinson has showed in the past he is willing to wait until the attention dies down and people get bored, so perhaps the same will happen again.
But as long as more and more people get informed, Australians will start to understand this is an issue which the world is watching (somewhat) and perhaps will finally focus enough pressure to move things forward.

I am glad the Australian gaming scene is getting more and more mainstream attention, unfortunately it is always for the same reason.
Although we are less significant numerically, the Australian gaming scene is quite mature and I have experienced this trend first hand in every game I have played and its an absolute treat.
I will be curious if you get anything more than a canned response from Atkinson. He has a pretty well documented messiah complex and believes any negative attention to his campaign of censorship is evidence he is doing his job.
Very much in the mold of Jack Thompson, unfortunately with more power and less accountability.
Having said that, he is a dying breed and soon to be replaced. He is by no means a fair or accurate reflection of the Aussie gaming landscape.

If they released earlier in the year then knocked 10 bux off the price for christmas it would be win-win.
This is especially relevant for gift givers because they are (relatively) uneducated and walk into a store and see a cheaper price and grab it.
