Comments: The fact that the US military spends millions of dollars every year on computer games, which they distribute to the public for free as a part of their recruitment strategy shows that violent games promote violent behaviour. They have done their research, and found that this is the most cost-effective method of recruitment today. Isn't that evidence enough that introducing R18+ games in Australia would be a detriment to our society?
