Michael Atkinson Steps Down

[Slayer_2]

Hopefully his replacement is better. This is a monumental day for all the gamers "Down Under". Sorry, I had to say that

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

No, and this is the consequence of Atkinson's actions that I can guarantee he's never thought of himself.

It's been brought up to him a number of times and his response has always been along the lines of "la la la la, I can't hear you!"

Hopefully we'll get sensible, consistent ratings soon.

I wouldn't go that far but certainly something less mind bogglingly arbitrary would be nice. I feel sensible is just too big an ask.

 

[VinnyKings]

I detect the collective orgasm of aussie gamers.

AND I JIZZED IN MY PANTS!

But seriously this is awesome news. I was waiting for the day when this douche finally stepped down.

 

[Arcane Azmadi]

OH FUCK YEAH!!! WOOHOO!!!

Thank Christ for that! Now we're almost GUARANTEED to get an R18+ rating- Atkinson was already the only solitary state attorney-general out of 6 (I think, I don't think the territories get them) who was abusing his veto to stifle the R18+ rating. With him gone, there is really NOTHING standing in our way!

JUST THIS ONCE, GOOD TRIUMPHS!

 

[Arkfeller]

Good riddance, I say.

 

[WestMountain]

Yeah sure that he wan't to spend more time with his son, it's just an excuse because he knew everyone hated him and that he would have to leave sooner or later!

 

[Klarinette]

Hoh, win! Freedom for Australia

 

[Doug]

Here's hoping this is stage one of freedom for Oz!

 

[Lord Krunk]

I was expecting the seas to boil, the sky to turn red before he abdicated. This isn't the epic 'hellfire and brimstone' Grand Finale I anticipated, he just went out with a whimper.

Okay, who here divided by zero? Fess up.

 

[Nyan Cat]

OHMYGAWSH! Now we need L4D2 uncensored

 

[mikecoulter]

Australia, one step closer to democracy.

 

[Lucifron]

Three words:

Good. Fucking. Riddance!

Now we just need to get rid of Kotick and then the industry will be back on track.

 

[[Insert Name Here]]

YEAH BABY YEAH! CAPS LOCK CAN'T DISPLAY HOW AWESOME THIS IS!

 

[DP155ToneZone]

I think this could turn out worse than expected.

 

[TruthMan]

Proof that there is a god and dreams do come true

 

[MrGFunk]

Ding dong. The witch is dead.

Hopefully no one follows in his footsteps and tries to spread his ignorance across the globe.

 

[NLS]

Hopefully, this will bring a better future for the australians out there

 

[Gunner 51]

Congratulations and celebrations are in order for our Australian chums.

One small step-down from Mr Atkinson, one giant leap for R18+

Hope your R18+ comes through, you deserve it Australia.

 

[Tartarga]

Finally, Australia is peaceful once more. But seriously this is a good thing. I'm pretty sure they were about ready to assassinate his ass.
