Re: Supreme Court to decide hte future of Video Games

I was just thinking, Clickme: don't you think you are overreacting? And believe me, I would know a thing or two about that.

First of all, do you really think the people who buy videogames still buy it from retail stores? I don't know how it is where you come from, but where I live, the most played videogames are the ones on the Playstation 2 and 3, and most of those games are purchased by street vendors who got them by downloading them off the internet. Very few people buy videogames in retail stores where I come from.

And second, do you really think retail stores are really gonna stop carrying those games just because of the new rating? I don't think so. Just look at movies: I can easily find retail stores that sell movies like House of 1000 Corpses, Saw IV or even Blood Freak. If retail stores have no qualms about selling gore porn movies, then what makes you think that they are gonna be reluctant to carry games with the new "mature" brand? I seriously doubt all the stuff about video games becoming sanitized would happen, simply because I doubt retail stores would refuse to sell those games.
