@Tyrunn: Because it is a private company.

@Tyrunn: It wouldn't do any good to sue anyone in that case. You wouldn't win. You have a right to see that movie. That doesn't mean you have the right to demand to see it anywhere, anytime.

@Tyrunn: It isn't anti-constitutional. You have every right to own a vehicle and drive which would allow you to find a theater somewhere that is showing it.

@Tyrunn: It isn't just violent games though. It is mature games in general. It isn't just about violence. Check this link out. They break it down and there is an actual link where you can review the law yourself. [kotaku.com]

@Tyrunn: that's not how it works in the US. They can legally refuse to play a movie if they want to. That isn't stopping you from watching it. You just can't watch it there.

@Tyrunn: You're right a theater doesn't have to show any movie it doesn't want to and a store doesn't have to carry books that it doesn't want to. And a store doesn't have to see anything to anyone it doesn't want to sell to. Doesn't mean they still don't have the right to read them or watch them when they can find

@Tyrunn: But that isn't what the law is suggesting.

@Tyrunn: The schools may take those books off the shelves but the kid can still go to a store and buy the book. That isn't censorship. And just because a movie is NC-17 does not make it illegal for a child under 17 to see it. It would just be the policy of the theater or the store selling it to not sell a ticket or

@Tyrunn: No the parent will not be accountable. They will fine the store and that's about it.

@Tyrunn: No those other forms of entertainment are not subject to censorship in the US. That goes against the first amendment of our Constitution. Books and music and movies are not government regulated. The only reason a minor can't buy an R rated movie or buy a CD with explicit lyrics is because it is against a

@Slagathorian: Save the trees and kill the children.:The law has everything to do with "the violent game made me do it" and this law wouldn't prevent it. When you go into a gamestop they still won't sell M games to anyone under 17 even though it isn't illegal right now. It is store policy to abide by the ESRB

@Tyrunn: It would be unconstitutional to the people making the games. It has been found in 12 other courts that video games have artistic view points and expressions. That is why those other 12 courts have found that video games deserve the same artistic expression that movies, music, books and other forms of art

@McFillly: Fries in ice cream is awesome.

@Tyrunn: I'm not saying they are being denied freedom of speech by playing a game but from a developer and publisher stand point your are.

@Tyrunn: It isn't illegal at all. There has just been a rating system established that all theater and stores honor and abide by (for the most part).

@Tyrunn: I don't think I would be on this site if I thought games were just made for kids. I'm 25 years old and I still play the shit out of games. I know games aren't just made for kids.

@Tyrunn: And its bad because, as I said to Slagathorian, I don't want watered down games.

@PigletLUV: As I said, I don't think kids should be able to buy them. But it shouldn't be our governments responsibility to step in and make it illegal. The parents should be responsible for that.
