The Australian Government has announced changes to the way video games are classified in Australia. Starting from September 22nd, 2024, two new rules will apply to games that include “in-game purchases with an element of chance,” such as loot boxes [now M], and games that feature “simulated gambling,” like casino games [now R18+].

Thank you government for protecting our children from Pokémon slots. I for one, can trace back my life going downhill to the exact moment I played slots in Pokémon red to get a Porygon. I often wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't been introduced to such contemptible content at such a young age. Thanks to strong government oversight, our children won't have to suffer these horrors.

Seems like you'll hate it. I would've thought you'd prefer guns in school and no welfare because governments governing pisses you off.
