"The legal tango between the gaming industry and the government has taken a step in the government's direction. Washington State's senate passed a bill Thursday that would institute a fine of up to $500 to retail employees who sell violent video games to anyone under the age of 17. "I partially agree with this.
Basically imagine... you have a 6 year old kid. 6 These days... kids can be extremely smart depending, Playing Grand Theft Auto (The Game this law focuses on most). Kids are like sponges, they absorb all information that appeals to them. They may grow up in life thinking its "OK" to kill random people (Which I think is ok, no I grew up playing SNES Mario, batman, ninja turtles >> SEGA SATURN mega man.. etc >> PS1 Rugrats , Final Fantasy 7-9, as a kid with Grand Theft auto later on, probably ages 14- now... GTA isn’t even that fun, but that’s just me) or Prostitution is "OK", or selling Drugs is "OK" and then after all that... they become what’s known as an "The American of Today" In my Opinion.I see a problem with enforcing this law. Unless you station a police officer at every video game store in the country, how are you going to catch the store owners selling the games to kids? The Age limit should be a little less then 17 though. I can see a problem with 8 year olds playing GTA but not a 14-16 yr old. Well there is also the fact of a parent walking in on there child playing grand theft auto where the kid is trying to get some health so he is engaging in sexual activities in his car ( the car basically only bounces, Its quite hilarious ), and the mother goes "O-M-G, Ouroboros Man God what are you playing" and can be one of two parents which either a) physically abuse there children or b) Calmly tell them to stop playing the game and ask which store they bought it. Notify "Government officials" and then the store can get it's $500 fine, Well that is one way.
The ISDA is planning on a lawsuit to overturn the bill that may have a chance at sucess because the law only states games that depict violence against public officials: cops etc. and doesn’t allow use of the rating system. This is also not allowing parents to raise there children in the way they want to. Parents should decide what kind of games they want there children to play. But I am happy to be 17+ ^^ because this law doesn’t apply to me.
