Rather it is "Does the government have the right to intervene in this matter at all?" Another important distinction. Well, I'm not an american but I'd say that your summary is wrong. The question is a combination of both and not just one or the other. The question is more: Is the potential harm to kids so high and the alternative industry based self control effective enough, or is the intervention of the government justified? That the government has the right, when the required circumstances are given, shouldn't be in doubt (as this already happens with porn etc.). The question is if the gaming industry, in its current state, offers those circumstances. This comment was edited on Nov 3, 2010, 06:21.
