Australia doesn’t understand digital markets. Amazon and Google deliver more harmful content to minors than games that are price gated.

Australia are headed to Chinese style authoritarianism at this rate. Why not go ahead and nationalize everything and make it outright illegal for average citizens to participate in the world? Doing it all at once will save time. <smh>

Chinese people are able to play these games lol Australia is straight up worse in that department. They seem to be the hotbed for a lot of anti-video game shit that then tries to go global.
