Dev: We want Australia’s games rating system to change

A number of years ago Nic Watt, formerly a lead games designer at Electronic Arts London, moved from England to Australia and founded the game studio Nnooo.  Designing video games in the commonwealth, he found, has one key flaw:  the country doesn’t allow mature-rated games to be sold within its borders.  The game developer and studio founder commented on the Australian censorship dilemma with news10.net’s Game Guys during the 2011 Game Developers Conference.
