Comment Video games aren't just video games anymore... (Score 1) 1493
Kids can go see movies about prostitutes and violence, and if you think about it, video games have reached the point where they can discuss these issues accurately to some extent. If there can be a rated R movie there should be rated R games. We are beyond the pixel games of the 80s and we should realize that gamers are no longer little kids with a pocket full of quarters. Games should be targeted to their audience and if some games are more violent than others it should be up to the sellers of these games to make sure that children don't get them, much like how people under the age of 17 were not allowed to purchase GTA:SA. This shouldn't be an issue and Hillary shouldn't have to worry about it. We need to stop banning products that can hurt kids and focus on the prevention of those kids getting them. If people were properly IDed when they bought games this wouldn't be an issue, but alas, more time and energy is being spent on stupid issues. I congratulate Rockstar for making a fantastic game that the mature audiences can enjoy. It's not intended for kids, correct, but that doesn't mean that people that have graduated college can't enjoy it? YOU CAN'T MAKE AN EXCEPTION BASED ON ONCE INSTANCE!!!!
