New York sees a new games' bill

pic_44706.jpgGame laws are getting stricter by the day. A new bill concerning games was presented on 3rd January in New York by Democrat Keith Wright. It appears that the bill prohibits sale of games which are considered racist or use derogatory language or profanity to anyone below the age of 18. And to make sure that this law is not messed with, retailers are required to check ID's of anyone who don't look over the age of 30 before selling them games, that fall in the above mentioned categories.


This seems fair enough, but some people on the internet interpreted the bill as something that allows those games to be purchased only by people above the age of 30. Oh well, get your mummies and daddies to buy you the games, in case you haven't understood the law correctly.
