One of gaming's darkest moments might come true

Perhaps kids should just be given to the state for a proper upbringing than? You can't trust an adult to raise them right can you?

Well, you can trust some adults; the problem are the number of kids who are borne to women who pop one out every 10 months or so. The adults who know to be active in what their kids are doing have the minority of kids, be it because they stop at a normal number, or they've decided to not have any, etc. But far too many see little Johnny bitching and moaning about how he wants to play MW2, cave in, and get it for him. This is then followed up by not checking to see if Johnny's actions (screaming and cursing at other players online) are appropriate. This is irresponsibility. Part of raising a kid is teaching them the meaning of the word 'no.' But over these past 10 years or so, we've become so coddling of kids that it's sickening. I'm of the thought that a good, swift spanking teaches a kid what's wrong, but now it's considered child abuse.

And if the game crashes because it stopped selling to people it really shouldn't be selling to, well, then I think that they knew about the problem. And they didn't care it was selling to them. In fact, they knew it was, because that's who they marketed the game toward. Make a game with good, deep content, and Johnny not buying your game won't tank it.
