What is it with Germany and Australia always being so anal about video games?

There was a lot of panic about "killer games" in the 90s-00s. Politicians and parents blamed video games for school shootings. Nowadays nobody cares about the topic at all, but the strict rules remain. Steam just kind of ignored the local laws so far, but now decided to actually adhere to them.
