There was confirmation from Censorship Minister Stephen "Goebbels" Conroy and according to his spokesperson it was added "under the filtering plan, it will be extended to downloadable games, flash-based web games and sites which sell physical copies of games that do not meet the MA15+ standard." The MA15+ means restricted to those people ages 15 and above.
