@Mike Actually, just about every law passed and later ruled unconstitutional has targeted retailers directly. They all posed fines on retailers who failed to keep M and AO games out of the hands of minors.

@Andrew, And that is the ...

@Andrew, And that is the point. Look back to the HD-DVD/Bluray format war and expand the time frame to 5-10 years. That is gaming right there. Just imagine if those two formats were fighting for 10 years for exclusive movies from studios and that people had to buy 2-3 different ...
