    …right, which is why I said, “if the store selling them has a policy not to.” I didn’t say anything about the government.

      I didn’t say anything about retailers or the government. Try reading before replying.

      The MPAA and ESRB are neither.

        I…did. I never claimed the MPAA or ESRB are either of those. I said that a store or business (i.e. movie theater) will follow a policy based on the rating those entities give a game or movie. I don’t understand why you’re disagreeing with my original comment when that is in fact what happens. Just ask a 13-year-old to try and get into an R-rated movie at the theaters where that theater enforces those policies. Same thing with buying M-rated games at a major retailer. The government nor those ratings companies don’t enforce anything, the businesses do.
