On why he (and he alone) apposes an R18+ rating system for video games.
“In cinemas, the age of moviegoers can be regulated and at the video store people must provide ID to hire R18+ videos. Once electronic games are in the home, access to them cannot be policed and the games are easily accessible to children. These days, older children (18-30) are often living in the family home with younger children (under 18). This means games belonging to older children or parents can easily make their way into the hands of those under 18.”
Whoosh. That’s the sound of the point of an R18+ rating going right over this stupid douchebag’s head.

Edit: Bonus points for the comment from the Kotaku thread:
“It speaks volumes that Mr Atkinson thinks of 18-30 year olds as “older children” rather than responsible adults.”
