Bllaaah stop tl;dr :<

27 Jun 2011 – WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court says the state of California cannot ban the rental or sale of violent video games to children.

Ban On Children buying Vidja gaem. Retailers get charged $1,000 for each mature/"violent" game sold to people under 18.

It got overturned. Means people under 18 could not but the FUN games. Means eventually ban would spread, possibly cause United Nations and such. Means then people under 18 in the Americas could have possibly also been under the effect of the ban. That would suck, no?

Is it so hard to read the first sentence of the link he posted?

"The Supreme Court on Monday struck down a California law banning the sale of violent video games to children, saying it ran afoul of the First Amendment right to free speech."

Also i support this kind of ban, kind sad it got shot down though . reason why i think you should be 18 to buy some games well fuck look at some them with the violence and porn in them (GTA= screw a slut then kill her) I'd rather children not being able to get this kind of content without parent/guardian consent.

Say what you will but some of the games out today has changed society for the worse.

Well I'm sorry I posted around the same time he posted the link.

Sorry :s

Also, I agree Shawn. I don't like the idea of 7 year olds playing GTAIV...

"2009- HEY MOM LOOK I RAN OVER A POLICE OFFICER

2025- HEY GUYS LOOK I'M GOING TO RUN OVER THAT POLICE OFFICER"

But at least, if the ban had gone through, perhaps those who still persisted to buy said games could be allowed to take a test or survey of some sort that would also appear on a record or account of some sort... almost "legally qualifying" them to purchase such a game.

Of course that would mean not everyone would be able to purchase said games if they did not qualify. But then what about people finding ways to cheat the system like they always do :I

It's illegal for underage to purchase the game, not to play it...

[Wafflepiezz]

GMOD, HL2, etc., I find is acceptional to at LEAST 13 year olds.
But GTA? No, just no.

I have friends who are 13-14 year olds and their attitude + behavior towards other is just irritating...like they rage a lot and don't get along that much.
And guess what? They play GTA.
GTA is like the biggest impact on kids nowadays for some reason.
Not to mention they get pretty bad grades...

I'd say most people found me as at least 15+ due to mah height >_>

Shawn, stop being Shawn.

If you worked at a gamestop or some shit, and sold a M-game to some 12-year old you can say bye-bye to your job. They don't fuck around with that shit. You pretty much NEED parental consent.

are you kidding me? i see 12 years old buying GTA all the fucking time from game stores without parental consent.

Then it's called reporting the store. The M that's slabbed on the case is on there for a reason.

[Seb]

That law's here in Florida, annoying as fuck. Can't buy a M game unless I'm with an adult.

[Supertoaster]

I don't think it matters how old the kid is it matters how mature they are.

[ursus]

Oh good, now I can waltz over to Walmart and buy vidya gaems without my mom staring down my neck.

[Mr. Franklin]

It's common sense to not let a 13 year old buy a rated M game. though putting a ban on any violent game is stupid.
