Is Grand Theft Auto going to be banned forever by the Australian Government?

    Imagine the popular Grand Theft Auto V was banned. The Australian Government has banned 220 video game titles over an estimated time period of 4 months. These games have been refused classification because of intense and horrific scenes of violence and sexual behaviour. Grand Theft Auto V has sparked a lot of arguments considering its content by parents and adults especially women.

Grand Theft Auto sparked a lot of arguments and has lead to begin banned from
Target and Kmart shelves.

    In the case of GTA late last year in December Target and Kmart have banned GTA V from their shelves as a result of an encouraging urge to commit sexual violence and kill women. However GTA still manages to reach its major popularity with its gamers after passing the one billion dollar sales within three days of releasing the GTA V. The past history of the GTA series is not at all appealing as well. Many of its releases saw them banned in many countries, including Thailand as the country witnessed a game style murder of a taxi driver by a 18 year-old in 2008. Other games such as Douchebag Beach Club, Drunk Driver and HoboSimulator were banned in Australia because of the content it contained.
    As this may be a lose for avid gamers waiting for the games to be released it is a big win for protesters opposing gory violence and prostitutes in video games as it may affect a gamer's mind as shown in 2008 in Thailand. Young gamers; below the age limit of most games, are allowed to play these types of games because their parents let them. Again, content in these games will affect and influence the child's potential and mind resulting in more violent acts around the world. However it is not to say that all games that received a MA 15+ rating should be reviewed again because content in these games are fairly mild compared to the banned games.
