Well, yeah. It's illegal for you to buy a video game you're too young to buy. Just like how it is with alcohol, cigarettes and pornography.

It's probably different in other parts of the world, but in the United States, it isn't illegal for minors to buy those M-rated games. Sure, the people at that store probably won't sell those games to kids due to store policy or not wanting parents to hate them, but because of the first amendment, it's far from illegal, here.

Because GTA V is a PC game, right?

At least do your f*** research before you make a (terrible attempt at a) joke.

f*** you.
I hope you die from a violent child influenced by Video Games.
This isn't the place to joke around like that.
I know I shouldn't post "death threats", but thats like making a bombing joke
after the Boston Bombing.

Except a bombing incident is caused from a bomb. This incident wasn't caused from video games, and even less steam and gabe.

He's suggesting children should go on Steam if they can't buy M rated games.
Its a joke, but someone died in this incident.

No one died because of an M rated game, the joke is unrelated to the horrible incident at hand. Wishing death upon him for it makes you seem more antagonistic than the unfunny fool who posted it in the first place.

Someone did die. In theory, it was because of a M-rated game.
Quote:
"Although a motive for the shooting is unknown at this time investigators have learned that the juvenile suspect was playing a video game on the Play Station III 'Grand Theft Auto IV,' a realistic game that has been associated with encouraging violence and awards points to players for killing people, just minutes before the homicide occurred."
