Anyone out there ever find a game in the US with this rating? It's like the kiss of death to the gaming industry. So why is this such a fear. I've gotten carded at walrmart and I'm about to be thirty trying to buy a Mature or Teen rating. Is there a lack of coverage in the gaming industry or is the market slimming so like porno movies you'd have to hit a specialty shop for this game. I think as kids whom grew up from the Atari to the consoles of today we should be allowed to have an A rating game. Tell us we have to hit a porn shop for it as we all know the porn industry is booming and expanding into videogames may just provide a market and jobs.
"But what about this filth reaching our children?"
This was the statement most people give me. This is where I say ESRB if you are going to rate why not make it a fair playing field. Kids get porn, bloods and guts and all the other things their parents rebel against from either a.) That parent without realizing it or b.) a relative or older sibling. I'm not saying I feel that games should be based on having sex and watching animated tits flash your screen. I just think if a game is out there enough for an Adult rating it should be made available to the people that want to check it out. Games are held back and retooled just to avoid an A rating. Thus this leads to kids and adults holding their money back. Why not keep the economical system of gaming flowing free. Granted kids will not be able to get a game because of the content but isn't that the entire idea of the ESRB?
