pfft.... sue the parents. Oh wait... they don\'t have any money.
F*ckin\' lawyers sucking the life out of the world.
-
Might as well sue Warner Brothers\' Loony-Toons while they\'re at it. How often do people get hit with baseball bats and get hit on top of their noggin? Lots.
Those kids were old enough to know right from wrong. It\'s time for lawyers to realize that the kids are to blame, not what they read from a book or see in a movie or TV.

What were 14 & 16 year olds doing playing GTA, it\'s an 18 rated game!!
On a technicality alone these f*cking w*nkers shouldn\'t get a penny. If they want to play sh*tty then they can have it back in their stupid f*cking faces.
Sorry \'bout that outburst, the compensation culture has gotten out of hand and these sorts of people should be nailed up and have their skin flayed off on live TV.

Has there been a successful case against a videogame?
The ratings put on games should serve as a saftey wall against irresponsible parents.
passing on the blame is so easy.

Well isnt this grand. The shouldnt get a penny and this should be so damn obvious to anybody. The game has warnings sufficient for the ESRB or w/e and therefore should prove the parents guilty of buying such a game for the kids. Give the parents time too. And if not, then sue walmart for giving it to the kids if they were in fact the onese that purchased it.
Not one of these killings beacause of gta has been committed by anybody over 18.
It was a lucky shot im sure too. They hit him while he was driving. thats gotta suck.

I hope your not mocking me bob.
because that picture ****ing rules, and you know it.

I\'m mocking Racer..

Honestly and I mean it havent you ever dreamed of doing things that you see or do inside a videogame?
Of course its one thing to dream it and another to do it.
-
So the kids shoot someone in the road and that wasn\'t their fault?
Nevermind that the 14 year old had access to a SHOTGUN.
It\'s clearly Rockstar Games who are responsible.
Just imagine the parent in court. "Sure I let the boy play in the street with the shotgun."
Lawyer to Rockstar Games: "How could you let that happen?!"
Good luck winning that case.

I really hope that was sarcasm or u r an idiot, "18" on a game does not mean that people under that age r not gonna play it just becasue they are not legally old enough

That\'s his point. They\'re not supposed to be playing such a game in the first place, then how can the game be responsible for their actions? Surely if the game led to their behavious, then wouldn\'t it be the people who allowed these children access to an adults only game be the ones who should be held accountable??
-
Actually, kids are legally allowed to play M-Rated games. It\'s just a guide for parents to monitor content.
Legally, though, I\'m not sure it\'s alright for kids to play in public with loaded shotguns. So maybe that\'s something?

in england it is rated 18, no under 18s, it does not matter if your parents give cosent or not. it is illegal for u to play it
-
parents gotta beat their kids when they don\'t have any common sense. those kids are psychos if they think that it\'s ok just to go shoot someone because they did it in a video game...some people just get dumber by the day :( I played this game when I was 16 and I had the common sense to see the real world from the videogame world... and i also wasn\'t insane
-
Did the lawyers ever ask where these kids happened to get a rifle from? I think that would be the defenses best question to start off with. Maybe then someone else will be held accountable.....*cough*parents*cough*
-
Irresponsible parents + video games=multimillion dollar lawsuit.
I hate stupid people. No offense Bob :p
