Uh…Since when is this a bad thing?

This just means that the ESRB will -have- to put the -correct- rating on every game that comes out (For instance, Supreme Commander should NOT have been rated E, because it had lots of swearing and violence, at least the expansion did).

It also means that children under 17 will NOT be able to buy m-rated games unless their parents buy it for them, something which has been done before but never enforced.

Why don’t they just go the whole bill and give websites age ratings. I can see that happening in the future.

(Please don’t)

“Why do they target games, and not, oh, say, pornography, which is to an alarming extent targeted toward minors?”

The porno industry has lobbyists and donates generously. Plus the vast majority of the stuff is now online.

I wish they’d stop with this bs and focus on something more important like watching grass grow.

Why don’t these assholes start crying about “unrated” versions of DVD movies. Those technically can be sold to anyone specifically because they have “no rating.” Why can’t parents just “parent” their children appropriately. Fucking idiots.
