I'm curious. I have been playing violent video games since I was about 4/5. I'm level headed, pragmatic and I think about what may occur due to my actions with some sense of morality. Video games haven't really influenced me in a bad way. A games rating has never made me think 'I shouln't be playing this'. Let me cut to the point before I cut to a tangent... Do age ratings have any use other than making a game unavailable to buy in store if you cannot prove your age?
