| elprincipe said: I understand and agree with one thing the OP said: the parents have a right to know before their kid plays a demo what the ratings are. I worked in a game shop years ago and we never left 'M' rated games in as demos so that kids wouldn't play them. Parents don't appreciate their kids coming into your store and screwing hookers in GTA without them knowing about it in advance. But the bottom line is, unless Sony put the NG demo in there themselves, it is the shop's fault. They have the demo loaded on the PS3 for play in their shop, and they could remove it if they wanted to. At least they could post a notice of what the rating for the game they are demoing is so parents would know. Whenever stuff like this comes up people on these types of boards jump all over parents for not parenting, yet here we have parents not having the information to parent with. So no fault with Sony, no fault with Tecmo, but definitely fault with the store. |
quote all.
I think that there is a vulnus in rules.
and this vulnus comes from a wrong cultural attitude.
I think that as Gamers we must start to pretend respect of ratings by developers,dealers, and retailers all.
if not
we'll always be attacked by media as category for violent games.
this case specific is about Sony demo stations and Mediaworld shops.
but we can apply this to all developers and retailers.
