    Underage kids can buy the most violent games half the time. I just successfully sued Best Buy and compelled them to institute a new nationwide policy. They will now ID anyone appearing to be 21 or younger to make sure no one under 17 buys M-rated games.
    Oh, so being a legal adult isn't good enough to buy an M-rated game. It appears that the labels say that you have to be 18 or older to buy M-rated games at Best Buy locations are unheard of. And also, chances are underage kids don't get their violent videogames through buying them at retailers. It is more likely that they just ask their parents to buy them, and those parents RARELY even look at the ratings labels on the game box. That's probably how most kids get their violent games.
    And did I mention how probably after kids play the violent games parents realize that they bought for their kids the games complain about how the ESRB doesn't warn them enough about the content of their purchase?

    EDIT: Another thing.

    Nope.
    Wouldn't it be better to notify parents about what games are violent or not?

      I just know you've already posted this on LWS, Anti. You're how I first found out about that place, actually.

      I am so going to relay this to the other gaming forum I'm an important part of. How important, I'm not telling, because you people obviously don't care about me if you dismiss my brags the way you have.
