yes that is a totally unbiased opinion its not like his business it totally dependant or anything :/

Its actually one of the only time that the government have been forward thinking and done the right thing. In the future games and movies will be the same thing and you choose to interact or jus****ch, so having them rated by 2 seperate bodies is not something that is going to last. This guy is basically just miffed as he is going to lose MONEY over it.
All losers moan ..

Garbage! Although he clearly has underlying business interests, his sentiment that moving games to BBFC is a backward step is correct!

The government should be truly forward thinking by updating the movie classification scheme to be finer grained like PEGI is. If they're worried about relying on PEGI, update the BBFC classifications.

If they don't, it'll just make it harder for parents who do make the effort to check the games they give their children, because they won't know whether the game is a 15 because of sex, violence or drug use, or all 3.
