[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] studly52 Censoring video is in conflict with the freedom of speech. The freedom of speech says that you have the freedom to say or write whatever you want too. It is in conflict with it by telling the game producers that they can’t say how or what they feel the character in the game should say. Game producers should not have to censor THEIR games that they make if it has an appropriate rating for the content. Here are some ways that can prevent having to censor video games. One way is that some small kids try to look at all of the games at the store that are eye level and lower. If all of the games rated T for teen and M for mature were up on the higher shelves it might help out. Only the adults and teens could now see those higher rated games. The little kids would not be able to see them so they might not know about them and ask for them. Another way that might be affective is that store clerks could be more skeptic on how old a kid is. If the kid doesn’t look very old and is buying a high rated game that is past his age they shouldn’t sell it. Also, if parents don’t know what their kids are buying why would they be concerned about if the games are censored. The only way a parent or guardian would know what a kid is buying is if they help pay for it or buy it for the child. The parent or guardian should look at the games ESRB rating and read the storyline on the back of the game. On the back of the game it usually tells underneath the rating why it is rated that way.

The game developers aren't being told to censor their games, they are following their own guidelines which does not conflict with freedom of speech.
