Its this all because of the law that was passed in the EU.  I believe we will be seeing something of the same thing with Sony as they will need to comply as well.  Not sure if this effect Nintendo because they already do not allow this on their console I believe.  

Also from what I read is that it uses age simulation which I would believe is the date of the account.  If you like myself have had an account since the first Xbox, well there is no need for all that other stuff.  Should be interesting how this will be done with other games and services like Steam.

The fact that local goverments inact these policies and corporations are already prepared to not only implement them, but already plan to spread it to other countries is the problem in the first place. It's an incredibly dangerous precedent.

We shouldn't have to be worrying about details of what kind of restrictions may or may not apply to us. They shouldn't have the right to impose their bullshit over us. We allow this now, it only opens the door for them to get more greedy and abusive.

Not even sure what you are talking about.  Are you talking about the making of laws that effect you or that the corporations being able to comply with the laws that effect you.  When has that not been something since the dawn of time.  Who are getting more abusive, the law makers or the corporations or both because I am not sure what the corporations is going to do when a law comes down where they must comply.  Just like with any law, if you do not like it, then you better hope there is enough people that care or you just spitting disappointment in the wind.
