Are you on drugs? The public isn't going to accept it? No, you won't accept it. "The public" is mainly using Internet Explorer. If you're going to bitch about something, at least 'fess up to it being your own opinion.
I don't have a problem with rating video games. It's like rating movies, it keeps the games in the hands of the people who can appropriately deal with the violence and/or sexual content. Video games are not just for little kids any more, the government and yuppie voting America just wants to think it is. Mario is no longer the biggest video game icon. Now we have Tommy Vincetti to deal with. Video games are becoming a huge market, and with that growth will be the people who try to limit it.
Like I said, rating is good. But we let videos like Face Of Death sit on rental shelves, and those are okay? Those trouble me more than some silly video game, because nobody pays attention to that kind of stuff. Maybe because it's not interactive. But the same reason that movie is rated for only adults is the same reason the GTA series has always carried an "M" rating. Because the people who would otherwise be exposed to that, don't know how to handle it. They don't understand that it's just a game, it's just a movie.
Instead of trying to ban the video game because it's violent, look at the parents. Do the parents know, or even care, that their children are playing something that is wholly inappopriate for them? They just want to lay blame on the video game company. They want to absolve themselves of any responsibility for raising their children to be sane, productive people. These are the same people that blame schools for behavior problems and put their kids on ritalin because they are more active than the other kids.
We are all a product of our environment. If you don't like the product, change the environment. It's not up to the people who make games to raise other people's children.

Poor, poor Microsoft. Everybody picks on them. What do they do wrong?
