Ha ha ha.

Quote
In a consent judgment approved this week by U.S. District Judge David F. Hamilton, Indianapolis has agreed to pay the video game industry $318,000 for lawyers\' fees and other costs.


This is good news for gamers everywhere. :)  Trying to ban playing video games, and blaming video games for life\'s problems, is really stupid.  I hope the rest of America learns a lesson from Indianapolis\' mistake.

That judge is totally right.It\'s very unconstitutional to do that.It\'s not really right to ban anything but that\'s good news.

Well it seems that people think that video games are a violent root.  Even people like my grandma, if she gives me money she always says "dont buy any of those voilent video games".  b/c she knows that i buy at least 2 new games every month!  Its reallt the person playin the video games, not the video games them selves, but anyway i wouldnt care if the banned it, i already bought my copy.

It would never get banned. Nor did I ever believe it would


there is a rating system and we also have a thing called the constitution

If anyone is going to be punished for GTA3 it will be the stores selling it to minors

Glad to hear this news.I was worried about the availability of their next game.Now if all the courts agree, course it may take them forever to debate back and forth.Which means we just play on & on & on.:laughing: :laughing:

I have always wondered what the judge does on those little "recesses" they have.  Now I know they get together and play GTA3.

Its good to hear it isn\'t banned. Someone from school said that they keep coming out with new versions of sensored GTA3 and take the others off the shelves. I think he\'s full of crap. Is he or is it true?

Hmm, It sure is funny to see people talk about this.  Especialy since alot of these people that responded to this post are not even 18.  Now dont get me wrong I would never want to see anything get banned.  But it is little punks like you that ruin it for everyone else,  SO those people see that these rating systems are NOT working because noone really enforces the rule, and thats when the \'banning\' topic gets hotter.

I have this game and I love playing it.  But I do not play while my kids are awake and I DO NOT think it is for KIDS under the age of 18.  Now if your parents buy this game for you, fine have fun, they know you better than the government does.  But MOST 16 and 17 year olds do not have nor show the maturity level too comprehend right from wrong.

So if you are not 18 STOP RUINING IT FOR THOSE OF US WHO ARE.
