Do they not understand the whole point of marketing something is to make a profit off of it. Take Two is not making a profit off of pirated copies of Manhunt 2. The AO download isn't making people run out and by the watered down ESRB rated version, they'll downloading the good version for free. So by that logic, if I steal Joe Lieberman's porn collection and give it to minors then Joe Lieberman is marketing porn to minors.
It must be nice not living in the realm of reality, and they say us gamers are delusional. That Parental Involvement: C thing is a bit iffy. How do they go from "The report finds that few parents use and understand the ratings when making game choices for their children." to C? If I take a test with 100 questions and get 2 right that doesn't equal a C.
Yet Video Game Industry: C, ESRB Ratings: C+, Game Specialty Stores: B, and Ratings Education: B- pretty much say the gaming industry is doing an average job while the ESRB is doing an above average job. Yet National Retailers: D and Game Rental Shops: F. So it's the gaming industry's fault that Walmart and Blockbuster aren't doing their jobs. Right. Let's not consider the amount of R rated movies sold to minors by Walmart or all the R rated movies rented or sold by Blockbuster. It's all the evil gaming industry's fault.
We're involved in a war, drugs are being sold on the streets, 3.5 million people (1.35 million of which are children) are homeless in this country but something as pointless as video games are a primary concern. We must be saved from the evil video games. God bless our American politicians for their knowledge that once the evil video games are stopped from destroying us all Iraq will become ours, drugs will cease to exist and everyone will have a home.
