Confirm your birthdate.
Seriously, when I want to watch a gory trailer and those bullshit pulldown boxes pop up for me to select my birthdate it pisses me off. Quit wasting my time with this crap. Honestly, have any of you younguns' ever put it your real birthdate if you're underaged, or saw the age restriction and thought, "Well fuck me sideways, I can't watch this, I'm too young!"?
|
Bleh...most of the real underages bluff to watch em anyways...makes it pointless to have such things. Unless of course you DONT want someone to watch a trailer, but why would you wanna do that?
Just make it free viewing for everyone. The rating certificate at the beginning gives the Rating for the trailer anyway. Viewer discretion will come about automatically. |
It is pointless, but so is most shit on the internet!

Nothing more than legal CYA

I have to rent or buy majority of the video games for my brother because my Mom will have a royal freakout about age restrictions if she goes in to rent stuff. For a while we were all stuck playing "E for everyone" games. It's BS if you ask me.

Now, Macabre, I mean this in no offense to you, or at least im not trying to, but it may look like it. So I appologize if you get offended on what I have to say. |

So don't worry, I'm not one of those assholes who are ruining gaming for you. I just have an overprotective Mommy. (PS. If I tell her the game is okay, she trusts me so there will be no suing) |

this is all strange shit to me; i was raised in a household without restrictions as to what i could watch, play, listen to and so far it hasn't caused any problems
none of my brothers or sisters really bother with any of that bullshit either |

Anyhows, I'd say it's more about legal liability than anything. Seems like in this day and age where a burglar can sustain an injury and sue the home owners, smokers can win lawsuits against tobacco companies when they develop the lung cancer they've been told they would all along, videogames and movies being held to blame for violent behaviour and criminal acts, and all the other riduculous cases out there, that it's equally likely some idiot might try their luck at a legal case against something like this. "You've put horrible images in their head...they had a nightmare 2 years after seeing your trailer...that must be the reason" This way the company covers themselves, I doubt it's just a rather unclever way to keep out under 16's/18's, but more towards "hey, this contains stuff that in some peoples perceptions isn't suitable for people of a certain age group", that way, anyone viewing it has been made aware in advance, and any points made against the company can be met with a swift "well, since they LIED about their age to get in, clearly their moral fibre was corrupt in the first place...blah blah blah" |
may as well fill out an electronic waiver while we are at it :rolleyes:
