72 percent of adults show they would support a law that would prohibit the sale of "ultraviolent or sexually violent" videogames to minors without parental consent.

What do you think

 

I'm thinking they weren't told the video game industry already has one of the best self regulated rating systems in place and just flat out asked if games should be rated or whatever without any other information

I wonder how total lack of AO rated games is good self-regulation... And what we could do to fix that problem. As a non-American, I find it difficult to find a difference between this new "law" and the old AO rating. So, are you all also against having an AO rating?

Also, what about porn? How is it any worse than violence? I'm sure you've had to counter this argument several times already but I haven't been lucky enough to see it even once.

I'm sure a publisher could make an AO game if they want to but since it's really hard to sell an AO game they just choose not to make AO games.  I doubt the rating process is like Apple's app store where it's surprise if you make it or not, I'm sure the devs know what rating they're shooting for.

It's not really the ESRB's fault that AO games plain don't sell so publishers plain dont' want to make them.
