Computer game given adult rating. “In what could become a landmark case, as well
as a thorn in the side of video game developers
in North America, Mary-Louise McCausland,
British Columbia’s provincial film
commissioner, ruled yesterday that the PC
version of Soldier of Fortune is to be
considered an ‘adult film’ in her jurisdiction.
The ruling means that that game is subject to the
restrictions that come with that classification.
According to the board’s categories, an ‘adult film’ is
intended for ‘anyone 18 years of age or older.’ “
