This is not a blow to the rights of a parent. It simply forces parents to do some actual fucking parenting.
Monitor what your kids play, don't expect the government to do it for you.

Less complaining, more actual parenting, less treating games like virtua-nannies for your kids. To quote Stewie Griffin, "GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DO SOME DAMNED PARENTING."
Yea, since when was it a parent's right to be lazy? That's all this infringes on.Cipher1 said:
Really, why would they want to encourage parents to NOT be more hands on with their kids?
Oh yea... parents vote and kids don't. But do lazy parents really vote? His comments are both transparent AND not well thought out.
This is actually a great win for the rights of parents: they can still refuse to walk into hell holes like gamestop.
Dude, isn't California's ecconomy in the shitter these days? Like, don't you have far more important things to worry about?
This would be sad if it wsn't so damn funny.

I can't seem to wrap my head around this case.
It's already illegal to sell mature games to minors, if a minor gets a hold of a mature game that's indicative of awful parenting or willful ignorance of an easy-to-use rating system.

Yep...it's one of those times...
God forbid parents take an active part in what their children are exposed to, eh Leland?

Except, you know, that the ESRB was already doing a good job rating the games, and parents are idiots buying things without checking them first. It's simple, flip the box over and look at the details, if there's an "M" do not buy it for a ten year old.
"B- b- but.. corporate America! And... and the Govornment... a- and..."
Who else is getting Team America flashbacks?
I tried to find a video from youtube to go here, but I couldn't so you'll just have to go watch the whole film again. Shame.

I think (think) that it isn't actually currently illegal, at least in America. The impression I get is that retailors choose (in theory) to obey the guidelines set out by the ESRB and other rating companies and not sell games to minors. It isn't a govornment branch enacting censorship.A Weary Exile said:
Can someone please explain this to me? (I am not in the US so am not familiar with the case) Why is this such a bad thing? and how is limiting the sale of items to minors a breach of the first amendment? Should children be able to by alcohol and porn?
My understanding of this is that it should be an offence to sell age rated games to those younger, why is this wrong?
Im a huge gamer but Im a parent as well and when my daughter is old enough I will limit what she plays / watches. I realise that this is what any sensible parent should do and there are plenty of parents who are happy to blame anyone but themselves for what happens to their child but at the same time you cant watch them 24/7.
