Who would play one game for 100s on Hours on end?

Removing restrictions would be good but there will always been a need for a scapegoat. But there needs to be something on the game box that describes the content from an unbiased 3rd party for people to evaluate if they should buy it or not.

Well, yeah, again, the ratings themselves don't need to be removed. They're capable of being a useful tool in determining a game's content. People just need to use them on their own rather than being forced to use them. I'm sick of getting carded whenever I try to buy a game. :\

So what you mean is that the parents need to be better informed about the games they are buying for there kids...

[suvo]

i think the shop keeper or the guy that is serving you should know about the games. like a library. and should tell the parents or the buyer about the game before they purchase it

[heero]

but then they have the problem of not making the money needed to run shop...

 

But in a good way it may be the way to get the message out to parents about what they are buying for there kids...

wat do you mean ? i think eb makes enough money

well i mean in the long run people will stop buying these types of games for there kids... this will send the message to game making companys that they should start making versions of there games that are for younger player, or else they will end up not selling as much games to Game market

i get what you mean and technically your correct. but it wont matter because it will just mean they will have to make better games

I have mixed feelings on the results of having alot of more parents informed.

 

Idk what to say besides that my mom cares about the ESRB ratings and when she heard about GTASA she went berzerk and through away my Vice City and GTA3 game thinking it was SA.

that sucks. My parents dont really care what i play. but that doesnt mean they dont want me 2. That really sucks drake but im sure u dont play them anymore. Edited August 6, 2005 by suvo

My parents don't want GTA in the house. Which doesn't bother me any, because I don't actually play them anyway. And if I really wanted to, I would, and they probobly wouldn't care. They do know what I play, however, which is better than most parents.

Yes. But more advertisements and more educational media costs money so they probably won't want to do that. It all boils down to money.
