The Australian government is looking to make improvements on its classification ratings for video games.
Australian MP Andrew Wilkie proposed a bill to the government in November last year which would enforce a R18+ or RC (refused classification) rating on all games which include sales of loot boxes. The new motion, announced earlier this week, seeks to add a "mandatory minimum" classification of Mature (not recommended for under 15s) to these games instead.
Games with simulated gambling, such as in-game casinos, would be required a R18+ rating under the proposed changes.
