In Italy we don't have an official rating system. It's applied the PEGI but it's not a law, so not everyone is respecting it, especially retailers. Recently with the cited law proposal the government tried to establish a new rating system, without adopting the PEGI. We found that awful and organized a petition, with a lot of eco on the general press and TV. We made 30000 people signing the petition and there were various politicians who substained our effort. To the end, the government crashed, so the law proposal was retired. But i suggest you to do a similar action to avoid these politicians decide for the videgamers without hearing them! The petition is still online at www.multiplayer.it/petizione/ Cheers, Andrea Pucci Editor-in-chief Multiplayer.it Hello everybody,
