The existing PEGI-rating is enuff.

The last thing we need are government communists to decide what games we are allowed to play.

What the hell does the economic leanings of a govenment have to do with how they rate things?

Well, it does. Commies and socialists want to regulate everything.

I'm going to assume that you just failed at making a joke. That, or your ignorance is through the roof.

Yes, I have. Infact, I live in one. However, that's more to do with their authoritarian leanings (I stress leanings, here).

I don't get why people assume that because a company is making more money from one area, that they're going to drop the price in another.

A corporation is a legal person, without a conscience, and with only one goal: to make as much profit as possible. And they will go through many hoops 'n' loops to achieve this goal, including breaking many laws, and causing harm to human life and the environment.

Now, would you expect this same monster to drop the price of a videogame just because they've found a new source of revenue? If you do, you better start researching a little thing called capitalism.

If you enjoy having a company finding a new way to make money and then for some reason jacking up their prices, go ahead.

For many of us, we don't enjoy it. Wait until next gen when your games cost you upwards of $80 for a standard edition.

They already do ;)

Did I say that I enjoy it, if you know me at all (which I accept that you don't, as very few people on this forum (if any) do). You'd know that I'm very much against captalism.

I guess I don't know you well enough.

At least know I have a much better understanding.

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
