How does the sale of videogames to "minors" affect us here when most of us are adults?

I support the idea that M-rated video games shouldn't be sold to minors
Laws are not going to stop minors from getting video games, though.

Which also leads me to say why would minors be in a splintercell forum

Why have a rating system if it won't be enforced?

This goes for movies as well. While most theaters will enforce the ratings of movies, video rental and sales stores will not.

I think the ratings SHOULD be enforced. It's pretty easy for little jimmy, a 12 year old videot, to earn $50, sneak off to the video store when he's at a friend's house, and buy the latest M-rated game. If the laws were actually enforced, retailers would deny the sale and little Jimmy would have to scream to someone in real life about losing, in which case he'll get his *** kicked when he doesn't have the safety of the internet and anonymoty to protect him.

If certain games aren't allowed to advertise their products anywhere on well known places like XBox Magazine/PC Gamer/Gamespot/IGN because it is determined a handful of minors visit that place as well as adults, they cannot profit from the game and not make it. Thus us adults who want to play it will suffer from not having the game.

That's never going to happen. Just like ads for rated R movies can be run on network TV, ads for rated M games will not be pulled from magazines so long as the ad itself is rated E (just as movie ads are always rated G or PG -- you have to see the movie to get the good stuff).

Doesn't affect me, not American.
