I have a 6-year old Grandaughter, who probably shouldn't be playing Grand Theft Auto, and an 87-year old mother who would probably like to buy her something se would like, and who has NO IDEA OF the sort of things that could appear in a video game.
I think that any game that is not flat-our illegal (i.e. kiddieporn) should be available to anyone old enough to understand what they are buying, and I think that adults should be free to buy whatever they want.
I just think that we should provide some guidance to those who may not be aware of the range of behaviors and story lines that can be can appear in a video game when they are shopping for children.
This is not censorship - it's just helping a consumer make an informed decision.
