Game’s Age Ratings Ignored
Figures back up the theory



A study has just been carried out across Europe proving that over two thirds of people between the ages of 13 and 16, have indeed bought a game(s) rated as ‘mature’, or ‘18+’ etc. Naturally anti-violence groups are now calling for more games to be rated higher up the maturity scale. They are also raving about retailers not taking note of age ratings, and supplying games to whoever wants them regardless.

This will all of course tie in with other so called ‘links’ between videogames and real life violence. But truthfully, we’re sure videogames aren’t to blame.
