I really don’t think this will happen.

30? You can drink at 21. You can kill people in a foreign country at 18. But you can’t hijack a fake car in a videogame until you are 30. Not a chance.

So how does this plan to deal with online content providers such as Steam, and GameTap?

America’s army is free you can play it if you’re old enough to turn on a computer and that is put out by the US Government. Good luck with that passing indeed.

Im pretty sure every state that has tried a ban such as this only ended up making more trouble for themselves. There are still a few parts of that old rag called The Constitution that Bush hasn’t gutted yet.

Give it a year.

hey when you are 18 you can go to Iraq and kill real people and splatter brain matter all over the streets. You then get to come back home and spend years dealing with it.

BUT playing violent, pretend games is bad. Theres a deep thinker.

The real insulting thing is that there is no age limit or intelligence limit on having children. Figure that one out.

You can be dumb as a bucket of shrimp and crank out as many babies as you want but you can’t play GTA until you are 30… This world is insane.

Very good point. I forgot about one of the biggest social problems there is. Stupidity runs wild… check Youtube for evidence.

Because video games mold lives, not parents.

Someone make a mod for Quake and put her face on one of the creatures

That’s becuase your not 30 yet (what would that be in Hobbit years, 80?)

Here’s a link with a little more clarification:

> **[New York state considers two bills banning sale of violent games to minors](https://www.engadget.com/2007-01-18-new-york-state-considers-two-bills-banning-sale-of-violent-games.html)**
>
> It's about time. We're just sick and tired of all those whipper snappers, running amok in our deatmatches and stealing all our kills. Rep. Aurelia Greene (D) and Rep. Keith Wright (D), patron saints of mature gamers, have both proposed laws which ban...

At least one of the two involved, Keith Wright, simply wants to require ID’ing anyone who appears under 30 when buying mature (violent) video games. Greene on the other hand… a picture is worth a thousand words…
