New York Gets To Play More Games
|
Us younglings can now buy violent video games.
Now I don't have to ask my mom to come in with me to buy my games. My mom is so happy!

Are you sure you still don't need your mom? This law was only being implemented in California on top of the old ratings. I'm pretty sure the old ratings and restrictions still apply.

Many business already restrict the video game sales to minors and this law was trying to make it a crime to sell mature games to minors. It was also trying to tack on a larger label onto mature video games. So, the SCOTUS said you cannot make it a crime to sell mature video games to minors, but the business that have restricted sales to minors will continue to do so.

I see. Why wasn't this told to me!
But how can it be legal for them to restrict what I can purchase, if it is lawful for me to purchase? Isn't that age discrimination? Quote:"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. " 
They are private businesses and have the right to refuse service to anyone.
That said... it is moronic to refuse that many customers if you don't have to
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Also, imagine the negative press a store might receive.
Meh... i sometimes forget how stupid and pansilly americans can be.

The law is going to decide parents must, I don't know, actually parent? The whole violent video games debate hinges on parents being unable to do what they're expected to - parent their goddamn spawn. |
