Make a Game, Sell it to a Minor, Have Minor Commit Crime, Go To Jail and/or Forfeit $$$

Check out House Bill 2178. It seeks to allow “actions” against game manufacturers or retailers if a video game was a “factor” in an injury or death.

Specific language includes: “A person may maintain an action for personal injury or wrongful death against a manufacturer or retailer of violent video or computer games if the manufacturer or retailer has distributed, sold, or rented a violent video or computer game to a person under the age of seventeen and the game was a factor in creating conditions that assisted or encouraged the person to cause injury or death to another person.”

Of course this is just the latest salvo fired by our Government at the video game industry. What I want to know is when we can sue Congress for our children growing up to be ignorant, arrogant, self-righteous politicians with their heads stuck firmly up their *ss?
