i'm confused on what everyone is so bummed about...
am i wrong in thinking, people who are not permitted to see rated R movies, should also not be able to buy videogames rated M?
whats the problem here? ur too young to watch people murder eachother, or see porn, so why should you be able to play the witcher, or any other game that includes intense violence and nudity?
EDIT: fwiw, there is no way in hell i'd let my son play the kind of videogames that i play until he is at least 15-16...and even then, i'll be the one approving or disapproving the game.
