Hillary Clinton is asking for the government to yet again join in the fight against video games. Speaking this
morning, Clinton has demanded that the Federal Trade Commission join the ESRB and Australian OFLC in investigating the
source of GTA's controversial mod. Furthermore, Clinton is also presenting a law that would charge $5,000 for
selling M and AO-rated games to minors. Fair enough, but what about further implications beyond that? How will this
affect the ESRB's standing? Regardless of who actually authored the sex scene, this whole scandal is bringing another
mess on the video game industry as a whole. Hopefully, this this uproar will just subside soon enough.
On a lighter note, there is no such thing as bad publicity; I wonder how all this furor has helped sales of Grand
Theft Auto. Will the next game even need to advertise?
