For the record...yes, I was being sarcastic. I meant "viable compromise" in the sense that politicians see it that way, and thus get away with even proposing this legislation when they wouldn't normally be taken seriously. To your point, when money's involved, these laws don't get very far (as I also stated in the article). Thanks for reading the article, at least. :)

But taxing them is a viable compromise, a "sin tax" of sorts similar to that levied on cigarettes. This article reviews the time-honored tactic of politicians pandering to their base: taxing violent video games."
