Good article. On a side note, whoever the dumbass politician was who proposed this law should probable off him/herself because they obviously don't have enough brain cells to function properly in society. Seriously, we already have on of the most detailed rating boards that goes in depth in describing the contents of a game, a big, fat rating on the front of the case that says right whom its target audience is, and all of the retailers I go to actively card people if they suspect they are underage and are trying to buy a mature rated game. If anyone is to blame, it is the parents who mindlessly buy games for their kids at the checkout counter without checking the rating, and then get offended when they see the game for themselves. F'n morons.

awesome post. bubbles for you my friend.

with our public education system in shambles and the drop out rates rising I'm so amazed that all these so called "smart people" talk about is video games. there's a bigger problem here than some video games....it's called BAD PARENTING!!

TheDeftGamer5521d ago

you nailed it right on the head. parents do mindlessly buy games without looking at the age restrictions. parents do not understand and use that as an excuse to blame the game developers. it's stupid!

again back to my public education system in shambles rant....half the parents can't read what that big M on the box means anyway.

companies pay lobbyist big bucks to persuade politicians to look the other way so no fines will be leveed. "Worse Buy" "Box-Mart" and "Game Suck" sale M rated games to minors all day long with only a few decent employees asking for I.D. but at the end of the day it's BAD PARENTING plain and simple.
