Australia's New Age Verification for R18 Games
Starting next week, Australia will implement a mandatory age verification system for R18 online games like GTA Online.

"It's a double-edged sword that may do more harm than good." - The implementation process remains unclear, leaving developers and players in the dark. - There's also potential for data misuse as personal information is collected. Overall, this regulation is a step towards responsible gaming, but its effectiveness and execution are still in question. For more details, check the full article here.
