[...] stand for to parents and the general population and to an extent how people perceive games. Attempts have been made in the USA to inform people about the ratings and that is what Germany needs. There is so much talk about so called ‘Killerspiele’ [...]

I didn’t think it was as high as 28 either, but it doesn’t quite surprise me. Just imagine, in 20 or more years all will have changed, as we get older and probably [hopefully?] still play games.

Really, it should be as simple as the way they put labels on movies. It shouldn’t cause anyone to get in a fit and start trying to ban things if they do it properly! Parents still have the choice to make 17+ games available to younger crowds, but with the advent of such great systems now, the age of gamers is much higher! I didn’t realize that it was 28 in UK, but nothing surprises me! I am 30 and still game for myself and with my 3 year old ;)

Well, it’s more that people blame games as it’s considered as ‘targetpractice’ and ‘lonely hobby’ by some. But those are mostly the same people that think that the average gamer is a spotty teen in his dark bedroom.

I wish we had one here too. I’d be in business for one thing. :P

In times where people blame games for making them shoot people [which is a shitty reason. How can you be so LAME as to lay the blame of such a deed on a game?] and the whole media exploiting that for their own profits, this is something good coming. Games don’t kill people, people kill people. :)

Indeed. I do hope it works out and doesn’t fuel another ‘let’s ban games’ thing.

It’s a very good idea. Finally then the parents will not be able to blame video games for their kids’ foul language and weird attitude. If they can take the time to filter websites on the internet, they can do so for games too.
