ESRB Retorts to NIMF

The ESRB has has released a statement condemning the National Institute for Media and the Family's analysis of the gaming industry and the ESRB. Specifically, the ESRB questions the group's research and bias in issuing the original damning analysis of the ratings board. From the article: "On points where the ESRB's methodology was questioned, the ratings board said that the real reason for the relatively low number of Adults-Only titles was a publisher-level determination to modify game content to avoid the AO label, which will usually prevent a title from being carried at retail."

I'm tired of this "good Christian" this and "good Christian" that.
What, like the rest of us are assholes?
 
Who started the Crusades? People with Christian values.
Remember Mahatma "I'd be a Christian if it were not for the Christians!" Ghandi? He seemed like an alright guy to me.
 
Come on. Just because you're not Christian doesn't mean you don't have morals.

Well, yes it is hard to test every aspect, and we need ressources. But here the problem is that we don't always listen or even take care about those ressources.

It stays the matter of the parent to actually make sure that it is good for their child. When I'm buying a game named Grand Theft Auto, I can assure you that I'm not waiting for a 6yo game. Even without the M or AO rating. And with a quick look to the game boxcase, it is even easier to do that. If you are not really sure of the content, then just check for more info, Review, store clerk, internets. These don't take long to do and could save a lots of trouble.
