Illinois game bill moves on, California bill halted - News at GameSpot: "Illinois game bill moves on, California bill halted"

I did a report on video game violence and it seems funny how game developers look at ratings enforced by the law a bad thing. They say it will hurt their sales. Too bad, if people are so afraid that video games are bad for our kids, then the rating need to be inforced. Most kids can go into any store and buy a game like Grand Theft Auto, even when it's blamed for causing kids to kill. They're bringing up a lawsuit against RockStar, Wal-mart, and other responsible for this kid Devin Harris, having being able to play game like GTA: San Andreas. He killed 3 cops GTAstyle.

The only thing I concluded was that in some cases, game can influence these kids, but usually the impressionable one who had bad lives anyway. They need laws to help out parents and protect the game makers asses from lawsuits, not to protect their sales to underage kids. Video game should be treated no differently than movies, porn, and tabacco.
