USA might pass law on kids under 18 are not allowed to play rated M games

[lol]

No, im not trolling.

I have been seeing on the news that they might pass a law that children under 18 will not be able to purchase/play rated M video games. What are you guys's opinion on this?

I am 16 and I say piss off, don't touch my Halo Reach.

[XxBryantD]

omg that better not happen it should be up to parents whether not they should play it bc mine dont care :)

[Emily]

18 you are legally an adult, so there for they can't do it :cool:

[[I'm]_[Not]_[Caelum]]

18 you are legally an adult, so there for they can't do it :cool:

[Jon]

He said under 18 ;P

[Fly]

They won't be able to enforce this; I highly doubt the game company's will comply.

[Emily]

Your aren't even allowed to buy rated M games unless you are 17+, so i guess its not a really big change.

and yehhhhhhhh i did read it wrong the first time, whoops :/

[Toxic ™]

Won't screw with me anyways I'm 17 and I'll be 18 in November so whatever, might not be fair to children whose parents don't give two shits.

[zar0s]

dude...
have your mom brother or w.e buy it
than you play it...
thats what i do
i have dantes inferno and im not 18
so they really cant stop kids under 18 from playing them

[Cart]

so much for Grand theft auto.

[Dean]

If this law gets passed, we'd be 18+.

[zar0s]

they cant do shit
our relatives or friends tht are 18+ can just buy us the game
it isnt going to effect anything

[Ramsin]

Ah its never going to happen, and if it does i ll just ask some random person by the store to buy it for me.

[Malik]

Who's going to listen?IF it does get passed, everyone will just "secretly" play in their basements, soon enough forgetting about the law and wonder why they had their console in the basement for the past 3 months and put it back where it was.

Only the registered members can see the link. (Only the registered members can see the link.) this won't get passed. :troll:

[Shishir G]

I dont give a shit.
They say porn is for adults, do kids watch it? yes
They say downloading music from internet is illegal, do people still do it? yes
If they make this law, will anyone give a fuck? no.

[Divine]

They won't be able to enforce this.
^that lol.

Are you telling me that the feds are going to come monitor what game activity lawlll..?

[Friss]

Last time I checked this law was only in California.

Its more a thing to stop 12 year old kids getting their parents to buy games like MW2/Halo etc without them REALLY knowing what is in the game. Ya the guy at the counter asks if it is ok for your child to get this because they are under 18 but its not like they would really pay much attention to that.

In the end it hurts the 15-17 crowd that can play these games without going crazy or being scared for life.

[bigcasey123]

it already did happen i have to get my mom to buy my M rated games and i'm 15.

[GOD]

... this won't affect anything people parents will still buy them the game so you will still be able to play. its a free country so they can't come into your house and say "16yr old playing halo reach ur on probation from playing video games"

[Sir Lethal]

I doubt it, as long as your parents agree you can play the games you'll be able to buy them lol

[chino]

CIA GOING TO BE WATCHING ME PLAY GTA 4?
How would they stop teenagers from playing these games exactly?

[Daedalus]

This applies to online games; I don't care about non-multiplayer games.

I'm not in the US, but in a way I hope this happens, to teach those who are immature to play a game (Like those who rant at you for kicking their ass) a lesson, but in another way I hope this doesn't happen, because there are tons out there that are mature to play those type of games.

[Ziek`]

beta watch out, da popo gonna b bustn ur door down fo' playn dem M gamez.

[Texeh]

Game Company's will not allow this half of their buyers are children lol and players are kids so think how much they will f them selfs over

[Draxxus]

Doesn't effect me so what ever. Less annoying kids screaming in my ear. :p

[Dodge']

This has been around for like a year now, California was the first to bring it up because they did a study and for them most children who play rated M games will be more likly to kill someone without thinking of it, ofcourse this is not true because it depends on the childs enviroment and how that person was or is being raised, this will not pass.

BTW last May or June on MSN AOL and Yahoo they had a thing about in there main page, my teacher printed it out and let me read it, im sure if you look you can find it.

But if it does go through, it wont matter if your parent buys it for you. if you are caught playing it your parents could get fined and have to pay, also Xbox Live and PSN would block accounts under 18 in even playing them. So your parents wouldnt be able to help you.

[Jess]

dude...
have your mom brother or w.e buy it
than you play it...
thats what i do
i have dantes inferno and im not 18
so they really cant stop kids under 18 from playing them

mhhm, yea get your parents to buy Games for you! :D

[Turner]

Isn't hard to get around this at ALL.
You can't buy games for mature audiences unless you're 18+ anyways.
How do you think kids did it before? "MOMMY, MOMMY, CAN YOU PWEASE BUY ME ZE NOO GRAND THEFT AUTO FO?!"

[Draxxus]

I don't think you understand lol.

[Turner]

I don't think you understand lol.

Then explain to me what I'm missing, other than them passing a law that we can't buy games, even though there's already a law exactly like it?
And they can't control what we play, it'd be against the constitution. We legally bought the game, so we can legally play it.

Incorrect you didn't legally buy the game considering it says 18+ It's the same as trying to buy porn before you are 18.. Derp.

[RespectedCheerio]

Wow. I think your trolling forreal.

[clawz]

M is equal to what in british ratings?

[Matty]

M is equal to what in british ratings?

16+ I believe.

[2kbarrows]

Hmmm, the seller doesen't give a fuck, if you have an adult with you, you can buy it.

[Onij]

Rated M is currently for 17+. I don't think they're going to go into every single house and check if the people playing are all under 18. I don't think it will make much of a difference.
If you remember, at one time, RuneScape was for users of the age 13+, and that didn't stop all of the fourth graders in my elementary school from playing it LOL (no, I'm no longer in Elementary school... lol...).

PS: If someone already said this, wtvr. I felt too lazy to go through and read 5 pages of comments lol.
