A 17-year-old is hardly a child, but is still a minor and within the confines of, for example, the PEGI rating system. Besides, I, or even a 10-year-old for that matter, could simply go online and then ask "mom, I wanna buy a game - can I borrow your credit card?" That wasn't even my point, though. They may be in the minority, but some very few children may gain access to games with content that isn't suitable for them which they haven't been properly informed about and may, consequently, sue Nintendo for this. Sure, it's unlikely, but there's still a tiny chance of it happening. Nintendo likely sees this as taking a precaution which they couldn't take earlier. Besides, not many people import games in the first place since, if a game isn't localized, it usually doesn't have that many people wanting to see it there anyway, so no one other than the vocal minority is really bothered. It's a "better safe than sorry" attitude and, since it isn't actually hurting me at the moment, I'd say it's worth it for Nintendo. |
times sure have changed, it i was that age i wouldnt even have the gall to ask my mother to use her credit card.
But why now?? WHy not do it with GBA and DS??? Thats where i dont buy it, if they always had region lock that would be one thing. I agree with everything else
