Has a games rating ever kept you from buying it?

[Gilgamesh]

Did a store clerk ever not let you buy a game?

Did your parents not buy it for you because of the rating?

Did you yourself ever avoid a Mature game when you were under the age?

(And for the old people, when you were young did any of this ever happen to you?)

For me a games rating has never prevented me from owning it. Several times I bought a mature game when I was only 15 or 16 and the clerks never cared. My parents never seemed to look at the ratings either, I don't think they understood anything on the games box art anyway?

This is what I'm talking about
