I am an example of a 180 degree change of opinion on this subject. 3 years ago, you could have never talked me into the idea that games and/or music could severely warp a child’s mind.

Unfortunately, this won’t stop the inattentive parents of the world from buying the latest GTA for their 10 year old, just to keep the kid out of their hair.
On the other hand, I disagree with all these people that are suing the game companies. Even though I personally think GTA is one of the most tasteless games ever made. This is American, they can make the game if they like. It’s the poor enforcement of guidelines and dim parents that is the real problem.
