Well looking at your past posts I think I found out what it is

Wish I'd had Sea Dogs 2

[JoshuaFH]

I don't understand your last post... What does Catwoman have to do with PC games being stupid?

They probably think they will buy a bunch of bad PC games that no one will buy in the same way that Blockbuster keeps buying bad videogames that no one will rent.

Wait... why would they do this? Can you like me to somewhere with more information on the subject?

[Neonivek]

Unintended of course Chaoticjosh and I already stated that I am guessing that is why they may be downsizing their PC section out of mostly jest.

If you want info on Blockbuster I only have the experience of the fact that my blockbuster, who must be run by chimps, keeps buying "Based on a movie" videogames on mass.

The Two Towers was sort of fun...  So was setting up chain reactions of bombs in Battle for Middle Earth, even if that was about the only thing.

Yeah there are quite a few fun "Based off a movie" games (though most of the fun ones come out quite a bit after the movie) but for every one of them there are at least five bad ones.

My favorite: Aladin for the SNES

I can see why you're frustrated. I got carded there as well, at 28 with a wedding ring on and in a suit, which was a bit surprising. If I didn't have my driver's license on me I'd have been very mad as well. Maybe they're just pressured to do it to just about anyone. Ever since they shrunk the PC section to one shelf in the back of the store I try to avoid it at all costs anyway though.

Talk to the manager, bring your ID next time, or buy online/direct download!

Lol, they're pull the policy back soon enough, once they realize that it's scaring away customers. I know plenty of stores that sell cigarettes to 14 year olds just because it makes money. I don't see why games would be more strictly policed.

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Because games make you murder people of course silly!

Call me crazy but I actually liked Battletoads and Double Dragon better.

I've been boycotting them all my life. Never bought anything with gamestop. Course, we don't have it where I live. =p

HERE'S TO LESS RETAILERS FOLLOWING THE LAW!

seriously what the hell are you arguing about

For one thing, retailers are NOT required by law to request ID, or even to not sell a game to someone who's under the age on the rating.

For another thing - even for cigarettes and alcohol (you know, the stuff for which there is a law), they only* have to request ID if you look like you're under 35 - for 13, that'd translate on a purely numeric basis (not counting the fact that people under 13 look a hell of a lot less like people over, say, 16, than 19-year-olds can look like 21-year-olds) to 22.

*I'm not a lawyer, I'm just pointing out what it says on the "We Card" signs.

Oh man, that was the awesomest game ever. I never managed to get past that robot boss with extendible limbs until I rom-ed it and save-cheated.

Afaik, ESRB is a -guideline-. You can buy an M game for your teenager kid. The said teenager kid can buy a M rated game himself as well.

Unless there's a law that allows them to deny you service based on your age, you can sue them.
