People get their socks in a bunch for nothing. I know what games I want. I don't care if I have to go in and ask the person for a covered game. Toys r us has all M rated games only behind the register. This doesn't affect me and I'm guessing most of the people on this site aren't affected either.
Now the logic. The logic is simple. Kids are easily impressionable. The idea of hiding the cover is to prevent the child from wanting an M rated game at all. If you think covers don't matter, how well do you think Halo 3 would have sold in America with the Dewey's Adventure cover? Odds are that kids aren't on the internet and have the knowledge of upcoming M releases. So by not seeing it they don't want it. I'm sure that M rated DVD covers are worse. The difference lies that their is not a real market for kids buying M rated movies. Their is however, an extremely large market for kids buying M rated games. And parents typically don't do their research to know the difference. They think I played contra when I was growing up, how much worse can today's games be?
