There is a massive gap between 13 and 17 in the US rating system.

Pretty odd seeing as we have all ages, 10, 13, 17, then 18.

Also not trying to steal the spotlight from Dark, happy birthday dude. I'm just excited about breaking a little bit out of this bubble Very Happy

Here your parents have to be present to buy a M game, and they have to ok it.

Isn't ESRB just a recommendation, not a law?

Meaning you can buy those rated M games regardless of age. Isn't it?

Yeah it's just a recommendation but most stores enforce it as if it is law. EB Games seems to always do it, they still sometimes ID me when I go there.

They're trying to self-regulate so that it doesn't become an actual law. It's a good policy.

So basically by enforcing it so it doesnt become an actual law theyve basically made it a law?

yeah sort of. They've gotten a lot of shit from angry parents of kids who bought stuff like Manhunt so they decided to regulate themselves or something.

Sort of Frost, but it's better that they just regulate it somewhat loosely than have it become real law. Not like they matter much, my parents never cared. I was playing Halo 2 in 5th grade. Except now all of the sudden my mom realized there were age limits and she gets mad at my dad for having bought us M games when we were like 10.
