Not sure what the big deal is ...
Not sure what the big deal is about making it illegal to sell games like GTA (or any M-rated) to minors. I mean, if parents want to let their kids play this crap for hours at a time, shouldn't it be up to the parents to buy it for them? Most retailers will sell games of this type to any 12yo that walks in with cash, unless they are forced not to do so.
