Why do I have to show a ID to look at a M rated game?

Word. The Thugg is right.

Get this, I was at WalMart the other day and this kid wanted to get some Mature rated game for the GameCube, and his mother said "But it has an M for Mature on it... what does that mean?" Fucking dumbass, it means Mature. The lady was honestly baffled by this for a minute.

The kid responded with "But they're playing it in Canada!" WTF ?? :) I've never seen a kid use that as an excuse to get a game.

Needless to say, he ended up with Pikmin.

And Wal*Mart always has those stickers that explains the ESRB ratings right on the glass in front of the games.

Uh-oh:eek:

Looks like the cool art might suffer in the interest of protecting the youngsters...

So when I was at Kay-Bee I asked if I could take a look at Devil May Cry the women said not until I see a picture ID, what the hell? I understand if I'm gonna buy it they might want to be safe and check ID's but looking at it come on. If there that uptight they need to cover the M games up like porno mags so nobody can see em. I always thought looking and buying were two different things.

It's a Federal Offense to sell M games to those under 17 now, right? Well, I don't think she even wants to chance losing her job, so I'd have done the same thing in her place.

SAVE THE CHILDREN!!!

I agree with EThugg wholeheartedly. But I do think it would be kinda F'd up if M rated games end up getting covered up like some mere porno mag.



I once looked at the cover and back description of DMC, and I felt an unbridled urge to go and kill people.

Well, She was doing her job, alright. But do you Korian look that young to get carded?

And why you still havent bought DMC in the first place, and look around looking at its box, instead of playing it? :)

Last I heard it wasn't a federal offence. Yet. :)

Doing her job? Fuck that. Her job is to show you what you want to see.
If it store policy to enforce not selling M games to minors, that's fine and I agree with it. But not allowing someone to look at the box is just stupid.

And it's never to late to play DMC eh?
