I think that the makers of the game saw that coming, and that is why money flies out of your body instead of blood. Even if there were only good parents in the world there are always older siblings or friends to help a kid get a M rated game.

  1. I think parents often use toys/gifts to placate their kids to keep them occupied. I think it's bad to buy your young kids anything that alienates them, and videogames are a huge part of it. Obviously mature videogames shouldn't be in the hands of children but I think the real problem is that parents will sacrifice appropriate toys for a bit of peace and quiet.

  2. If a child is around 8 and younger, they probably shouldn't play M rated games. Teen games are fine, just not Mature. I played M rated games when i was young and my mom would get pissed and make me return them.

    So basically what i'm saying is, if the child is under 8 years old, they shouldn't play Mature games. But past that, i expect the child to understand what he is doing in the game and understand you don't do those things in the real world. I think once you turn 8, you understand this fact.

  3. If you can tell the difference between a video game and reality, then it doesn't matter what age you are, you should be allowed to play. The whole idea behind kids having their mind at a developing stage, and being prone to having these images of killing and murder and guns burned into their brain, turning them into psychopaths, is entirely backwards.

    Take Grand Theft Auto. People say you can go kill people with guns, chainsaws, etc. But what happens when you do? Cops come after you and attempt to arrest/kill you. If anything this shows that doing these things in the real world result in law enforcement taking action, which is, in context, teaching kids right from wrong.

  4. Every Gamestop employee has a story and if you ask them, they'll be happy to tell you about the time they tried to talk a parent out of buying an M-rated game for their preteen, only to get yelled at in return. Many parents are idiots.
