If you’re buying a Mature game, don’t bring younger siblings

Question: what, precisely, do you think we should do to stop kids from playing these games? Because you are correct that children cannot possibly be watched by even vigilant parents 24/7, let alone parents who are lower class who may be working 40+ hours a week each.

I'm all for listening to other options, because I don't love the solution either.

Stop them?! Let them! I think it's better having a parent allow their kids play the games and talk with them about it. How can parents communicate with these kids if they think their child is shielded away from that kind of stuff? A parent in the know is better than a parent in the void.

It's fair to say your position is the extreme minority -- very few people are arguing for aboslutely no restrictions.

You're welcome to have that opinion, but it's definitely not what most people want. I have arguments against your position, but it's a 100 page, mean, nasty can of worms we're opening, and I'd prefer not to.
