Poll: Would you emigrate to another country if gaming was banned/outlawed

[ascorbius]

Absolutely.
If gaming is banned then other basic freedoms would soon follow. get out while you're allowed.

 

[Dogstile]

Run away? Why do that when you can stay and fight against it.

 

[madster11]

I'd move over to NZ, simply because it's extremely easy to do so from Australia.

But first, I'd make sure to do an armed robbery of Gillarang and plant a bomb on her saw-style that sets off in 1 week unless i give her a release code. I will only give her the release code if she gets rid of the ban and calls herself an idiot on national television.

And then my phone would conveniently go flat just before i give her the last 3 digits.

 

[Dalek Caan]

I would and I would move to Great Britain.

 

[Popido]

Why cant you rebel? Do most people seriously think that their goverment is an empire.

 

[thenewprince]

I Think we would honestly need some gaming "Speakeasy's" Prohibition didn't work. FTW if they think banning games would work lol

 

[WalrusPowers]

I'm a 15 year old Australian, and I plan to move to America ASAP if we don't get an R18 and lower videogame prices. It pisses me off that my collection of 25 PS2 games could easily be 45 based on the 1st world country in which I live.

So. yeah, I'm moving for a lot less.

 

[Zeema]

screw you Australia im fleeing to London

 

[tehlordofmyownworld]

keep on gaming a usual.What the hell are they gonna do about it?Kick down my..

BOOM!!"FREEZE!! PUT YOUR HANDS BEHIND YOUR HEAD!!GET DOWN ON THE FLOOR!! SLOWLY!!"

 

[trophykiller]

Why can't I protest and rebel?

 

[orangeapples]

I'd probably move to Canada or something, but I kinda want to move there already as Australia currently sucks balls.

lol Australia, they probably would ban gaming if they could.

I'd probably join a gaming revolution of sorts against the government's decision.

 

[Gamer_152]

Well I'm a games programming student so that course would go out of the window and I'd have to look elsewhere for education. I'd probably stay gaming illegally here until I could move to another country, preferably the U.S.

 

[EternalFacepalm]

If my country banned gaming, I'd just go to some random place and say I'm banning books. Same thing; I wouldn't be leaving for the lack of video games nearly as much as the lack of an intelligent government.

 

[Tsaba]

snip

Where's the:
No, I would start an insurrection and help create our own gaming country.

 

[Michael K]

No, I would stay and lead a revolution to overthrow the government and install/lead one where people can play videogames freely.

And on saturday, there shall be a holy gathering to the Church of Gaming.

And all the people will rejoice.

 

[Triple G]

I voted for moving, but I'm pretty sure I'd just end up gaming illegally.

I'd hate it if I lived in Germany, where I know they outlaw some violent video games.

No they don't. They just put certain games on the "index". That means you cannot buy them until you're 18, and you cannot have commercials or any other kind of promotion for them or have them stand around in your store where children can see them. You cannot have them shipped unless you have 100% proof the customer is 18. But nowadays the censors don't put games on index anymore, and other organizations test the games and just put a "not for sale under 18 years" warning on the box.

 

[Robert Ewing]

God yes, there are enough problems in this country in the first place, and to not ignore them via gaming bliss would just be too much.

 

[Korolev]

Absolutely I'd move. If they can ban gaming, then they can ban anything and who knows what would be next on the firing line. Simply put, I will NOT live in a nation in which the government has the power to ban an entire form of media. I'd move if they banned plays, books, film, TV or pamphlets, because a government with the power to actually ban ALL games, would be a government with the power to kill you in your sleep, or otherwise neutralize you in a thoroughly unpleasant way.

 

[Hamish Durie]

NEVER I WOULD START AN UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT

 

[Scarim Coral]

Probably no at first. Without games it would open more stuff for me to do like reading, watch more anime etc. I may however get bored from it so I would probably at least have holiday at those legal gaming places.
