"A U.S. Senate Republican with presidential ambitions has renewed his push to slap new regulations on the video and computer game industry, including a ban on "deceptive" labels by ratings outfits"
... one word... "LOL". Please stop trying to act like your smart and doing something important for the world. This country is at war and your focused on video game ratings. First of all the ratings are already Over-exaggerated. Most games are already T for teen, and thats only if your shooting alien bunnies with a heart shooting ray gun. M for Mature for anything else. He says that the people who rate the games dont play them. Wow that just sounds kind of stupid. Thats like me saying your just bored with your life and want to attack the video game industry in hopes of becoming a future president... O wait that might be true.
"The proposed regulations represent another reaction to a high-profile scandal surrounding the game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. In July 2005, reports surfaced that a readily downloadable modification could unlock sexually explicit scenes in the best-selling game, prompting bipartisan outcry from Capitol Hill and a federal investigation."
You have got to be kidding me. Grand Theft Auto is a M for mature game (Age 17+). The rating is there. Do you want a new rating? O for OLD? Ages 50+. ESRB even offered to change the rating on Grand Theft Auto to A-0 (Adults-Only). Well usually your considered to be an adult somewhere around the ages of 18-21 Mature rating seems to be 17+. I don't see much of a big difference there. But it seems The Federal Trade Commission made a settlement with the ESRB, where the ESRB must pay them 11,000 for each time they violate the deal in which ESRB must "clearly and prominently disclose on product packaging and in any promotion or advertisement...content relevant to the rating."
