You're as bad as those ****tards at Fox News, who always say the same shit about games THAT ARE RATED MATURE.

It's such a ****ing stupid comment. You CAN'T EVEN BUY THE GAME unless you're 17+. Then, it falls on the parents to actually have common sense and not buy younger kids this game. It says 17+ for a reason. Why the hell would they market to an audience that can't even buy the game?

Take your bias, and stupid comments out of here.

And I too would appreciate a guest key. I need to know if the game will work on my computer.

There is a system to block under 17 from buying the M game. As I said the data speaks for itself , so does the boards. Parents cant be every where and cant enforce M rating.

The video rating boards - http://www.esrb.org/index-js.jsp - is policed by the video game developers , further more they have only only attacked 2 games or attempted to enforce a fine (breakable of contract) on 3 games.

GTA was the last one , it leveled a fine , which was later secretly reduced by ERC.

Also retialers have stop enforcing the "no sale policy for M games" it only enforces no sale of AO , (adult only titles) , which no retailer will carry and the rating has never been given to a US , only imports.

Further more , Red Light , Feel 3 , and many other sex/adult titles are being granted M status. They also are being shown to be explored by younger than 17 age group.

Next Funcom , Fileplanet , Tenton hammer , and retail giant Amazon.com has refused , blocked and fought every nanny site / parent for putting Age of Conan on the block list.

In contrast , Gravity's Requiem , and a game called Prey have added their titles to a block list on major nanny sites.

Age of Conan continues to make thier accessable to children , and Funcom has issued no policy to retailers , (like UBI does for Tom Clancy) , about revoking thier right to sale the product if sold to children.

------------
The problem is Mad_Hatter , Funcom staff is dealing with outburst in a unproductive way. The teens ~ young adults , arent the best at understanding, reading or reacting to change , fine print , or double talk. They make it a point to be very heavy handed , like telling one person the other day "Post in this thread , only this thread" then handing out a 3 day temp ban.
---------------------
Lydeck you gonna be native to think that retailers are going to enforce the M rating. You also need to know there is no legal entity in US , or Euro which can block sales , or imports even on ban games.

Uk has the best and most brutal system but almost no enforcement.
