Anybody can go in to any store and purchase a game rated E, E10, or T (ESRB Ratings, US only.), and anybody with age ID can purchase any game, regardless of rating.
What would be the point of having a 30 years and over room in game stores if the highest rating, AO games, given to very few games anyway out of the company's own fear of losing their reputation, can be bought in any store if the person has proof?
Unless the ESRB plans on adding an "X" rating, which is only given to games that contain, but more than that, completely center around explicit sex.
But even than, 21 years old, anybody can go and purchase whatever the hell they want (except child-size meals in restaurants).
