No the rating system is there as a guidelines, as is the MPAA Rating system. If you are 11 you aren't able to buy a ticket for a R rated movie. Why should an 11 year old be able to play a M rated game.
Its not about maturity in all cases. The idea behind this rumor, is that parents should have to show that an adult is present when someone is playing these games.
Currently, the system is that any kid with $60 can walk into a Target, buy Black Ops II, go home and play it. No parental supervision at all. Yet that same kid can't see a R rated movie without an adult there. Why is there this difference?
I know its a rumor, but I think its not such a bad idea. Its not telling you you can't play the game, just that an adult has to be present. Like a R rated movie.
1.huh? My entire stance is that the parents should be the ones deciding all of this not the government. You shouldn't be a parent in the first place if you need the government to be doing your role.
I wasn't a crazy movie kid when i was younger but if a R rated movie came out and they knew i wanted to see it they just took me. I can't even think of an R rated movie I saw as a kid which is probably because they shouldn't have been R rated to start with.
The Parents bought the damn game in the first place. I didn't even bother trying to by M rated games from gamestop when i was a kid because i knew they would ask for an ID if not outright say "you are not 17". I don't know if walmart does this, but seeing as the case are behind a case which somebody has to unlock i doubt they have issues.
2. How about the parent just take the game with them when they aren't around? My friends parents did that when i was younger. I see no logical reason as to why they can't do that unless they are stupid and again shouldn't be a parent to start with.
What if i lose MY ID somewhere in the house? Do i seriously need to find my ID right then and there so i play a stupid video game? I generally leave my wallet in my card so i avoid losing it in the first place. This is overboard and stupid.
3.Do we have any accurate statistics that can represent whatever this crap is? Until you post a video with you grabbing a 10 year old kid,giving him 60 bucks, and film that kid buying the game all buy himself i won't buy that.
I love how you said target because you know gamestop checks for ID's. I don't know any Kid that goes to target to start with since it is expensive. I don't know many kids walking around with 60 bucks in hand, nor do i see kids going to target instead of gamestop or a videogame store to buy a video game.
A kid isn't going to be able to buy a M rated game from Wall mart, K mart, or gamestop and those are the main place's if not only general places that can get games. Who the hell goes to target to buy video games?
4.It is a stupid idea and if you have kids you are a stupid parent for being so goddamn lazy.
