News from Sumea: Launchpad has asked a good question in ref to the rating that HL2 has received in Europe, which currently sits at +18, basically this means that minors will not be able to purchase the game. If this rating is to be continued in Aus, then the game might just get an outright ban simply because of a lack of an R rating for games in that country.

More info here.

Cheers

I have to agree with you mm001. I think that if the kid wants to get his/her hand on it they will regardless.

I would bet they can't regulate who can and cannot download the game using STEAM.

Under 18 generally means w/parents consent and again to me that generally means it's the responsibility of the parents not a government. But hey, that's my opinion. After all I honestly can't see a way of them preventing this release in Aus. Just doesn't make sense to me. I'll keep an eye out on this one.
