AO is a rating, as a rating that forbids minors from buying the game when a game gets the rating it should be honored...and still should be sold. Why have this rating if the game won't be sold?
M is rated M like R is rated R, both are done ridicalously but at least set up boundries. I heard someone go kids as young as 14 or 15 can buy a M game, which i never see happening. But whats a sad truth is a 15 year old a mere 2 years shy of 17, sometimes can handle the game better.
ESRB is supposed to set up guidelines not rules, no way should a 7 year old buy a M game, but at the same time a 16 year old should and does know themselves well enough to get a M rated game as well as see a R film. In films the movie goer ussualy can handle the movie a few years before its rating PG-13, R, PG ect.
Now for all these people who want to impose censorship on gaming its disgusting and a clear violation of the first ammendment. I sincerly wish a gaming group with devolpers including a triteam of sony, nintendo, and microsoft would rise against but that's not happening.
They need to stop worrying about issues that aren't issues and played out to death and worry about real things, like why parent's aren't home to see little johnny reach for a hot stove.
