Ruling against age limit on game sales upheld

[MtnBiker]

I bought a WWII genre game that had the ability to turn off the gore and bad language in the game. I thought that was a nice feature. I didn't use it, but if someone wanted to it easy to do. Game makers could make that available and give the consumer the choice.

All this ruling means is that a law can not be made to restrict the sale of M-rated video games to minors. Stores can and should still enforce the policy as a matter of responsible business practices. Walmart, Target and Gamestop still ask for ID when selling M rated games. Its not a law in most states but they have it as store policy.

Parents have to step up to the plate here. If they allow their children to play M-rated games and even purchase them for them, they have nothing to gripe about. Even you think your kid purchased an M-rated game without your permission, then pay attention to what they are playing and monitor them.

This is a good thing that the court did not rule in favor of more government control. We need to take more responsibility into our own hands.
