ESRB Is Working

Good news for people who love it when people who bitch about violent video games can shut the hell up.
Yes, folks, the system set up by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board has apparently been working, as they report 60% of parents with children under the age of 18 do not buy “M” rated games for their children, and 34% of them do “sometimes.” This means that more than nine out of ten parents are actually THINKING when buying their children video games.
On the other hand, this study was done by the ESRB, so be wary. Critics abound.
I don’t trust the numbers that much, but parents do need to step up and actually parent their kids
