I really take offense at the idea that as a gamer I am trying to harm society. I’m about as non-violent as they get, and give an arse-load to charity, too. It raises my hackles to have this git pointing fingers like this.

Well that’s politics. An ignorant man is allowed to create or prevent laws that suit him, yet a majority of people get ignored when it comes to actually improving the system.

“This is a question of a small number of very zealous gamers trying to impose their will on society. And I think harm society. It’s the public interest versus the small vested interest.”

This – coming from a man imposing his belief onto the public who additionally will not engage in any form of rational debate regarding them. Gee, I sure wonder who’s trying to impose their will on who, Atkinson – you hypocrite.

We’ve learned quite a lot out of polling the public, through with the help of the industry and random doorknocks, there’s been wide support for people for the R18+ classification, there’s been a huge amount however of people who don’t even know there’s not a R18+ classification and we’ve been educating them about it.

The more the media jumps in on this, the more the public can see the stupidity of us not having an R18+ classification for video games and of Atkinson in general.
