bah, that won't stop anyone. and besides, germany's just having a bit of a rant while they're in command of the EU...i doubt they'll do the random stuff they're saying they will atm

They ban one game and what happens? people will just pop off to their 'local' peer2peer site and download a copy.

Nice free publicity though for the games developers 'As banned by the EU so it must be good!'

from what i briefly skim read on the cnn article, if they just ban the sale of violent video games, then you could still legally download the games from other countries (say gamespy direct to drive/steam)

bah...just realised if i had actually heeded the age classification on most of my games, i wouldn't have played most/if not all of them until....april this year...would've missed out on red alert, quake, heretic etc etc just cause they're 18's...i mean i really do think the psychological trauma is worth it
