Game Industry Wins
Remember that sillyness over in Indianapolis about trying to prevent minors from being
able to play games? Something about thinking games turned kids in to psychos or whatever.
Well as expected the failed attempt was a waste of time and money as the game industry won
the case, and even more amusing now is that the court has awarded over $300,000
to the game industry for legal fees they incurred. Tax payers in Indiana, thank your local
congressman! Thanks jasonepowell
Among the backers is Indianapolis retiree Mary E. Douglas, who said taxpayers foot the bill for many "nonsensible things," but that the ban was a worthwhile goal. "They shouldn't be allowed to play those games, period," Douglas said of minors. But Dave Danz, owner of the Indianapolis-based courier company Double D Express, called the law "a ridiculous waste of money." "It's up to us as parents to teach our children values. However well-intentioned it might be, it's not a function of the government to intervene," Danz said. "We're blowing taxpayer money at a time when we need to be looking at things like sewers."
