Well, if there is any violence, rape, drug abuse, swearing and so on, it is in the game. The user is not creating it as such, it is not a blank canvas, the game obviously is programed or geared toward these king of materials.
Also, you can try playing any of these games without indulging in said activities, it may make the game boring, or you may get killed because you refuse to shoot your gun,
at the end of the day, if you have a R18+ rating for films, but not for video games, it's a bit hypocritical.
Besides, R18+ games should not be played by children, but as someone over 18+, if I wish to play those games, I should be allowed to. To say we can't have R18+ games because of children, or unstable adults, then why have R18+ films, and don't say that video games are more immersive, or some other bs, films, books, and music can be just as powerful.
If someone just watches horror films, listens to death metal, or plays violent games, chances are they may have problems. They may not. So what do you do? Make everything Disneyfied?
Sorry guys, you may not need or want R18+ games, but as a 18+ adult, that decision should be mine, not some PC freak in SA.
