    The sales of M- and AO-rated games to minors has been an issue of much concern to parent groups and public officials, and bills have been submitted to government agencies, including the Video Games Ratings Enforcement Act introduced to the US House of Representatives in both the 109th Congress and 110th Congress. The proposed legislation would require an ID check for M- and AO-rated game purchases. Neither bill was passed into law, and other proposed bills were stopped because of First Amendment violations. Although no law mandates ID checking for games with adult content, a 2008 secret shopper survey done by the Federal Trade Commission shows that video game retailers have voluntarily increased ID verification for M- and AO-rated games, and sales of those games to underage potential buyers have been reduced from 83% in 2000 to only 20% in 2008.

    ...So two months before I quit GameStop I stopped checking ID's. Worst fucking job ever.

    I never understood this as a kid, and I still don't being 20.

    I can buy liqour and cigs without getting ID checked but I still do for videogames. Plus it is 17+ not 18+.

    I just don't get it. Fuck. You see worse in some 14A movies.

    I'm lucky I didn't get insta-fired since one parent did complain. I had a sit down with my boss we talked about what to do, whether to fire me or not right there. However since I didn't break any laws he and my district manager agreed to let me work until my quit date as long I didn't tell any other employees in other stores that it actually was legal to sell GTA to a minor. As for the angry parents, fuck them, I'm not your kids babysitter.

    Fuck. This is why you don't go to Gamestop.

    I remember when I was 17 I went to drive to pick up a game and forgot my wallet. So I was speeding back home just to get it. Cop pulls me over and doesn't even care I don't have my license and let's me go.

    That's right, a cop gave less of a shit then a fucking videogame store.

    . . . And your problem is . . . ?

    Seriously, I think that if it WAS a law, we'd be better off. For one, vidya gaems would have a better public image since the real young kids couldn't get their hands on GTA and the like (unless someone else bought it for them, in which case it's out of the VG industry's hands). Second, we'd have less 10 year olds playing online games screeching in our ears.

    Only if you have 3+ (4+?) copies. And the game has to have been out for more than two weeks.

    Needless to say, you can forget about checking out anything that's not Call of Duty or something, and even then you've got to wait forever.

    And all of those games are old enough to work, and the store likely has plenty of spares.

    It's kinda worthless to me. I just buy the games I'm looking forward to anyway, because stuff I'm somewhat interested in takes too long to become eligible or we don't have enough copies to do so EVER (looking at you, Demon's Souls).

    I rarely got carded when I buy video games, because most of the time I buy from used video game stores and from conventions. Even for R17+ movies I never got carded.

    If there was a federal law requiring a ID check for M, AO, R, and NC-17 films, I will support it. But if it's only for video games then I oppose it because it hypocritical to deal with video games while movie purchases are unregulated.
