- Activision: Violent games law chokes free speech
- In 2005, California passed a law that banned the sale of violent and inappropriate video games to minors and now the makers of those games have chosen to fight back because of that restriction on their given right of free speech. Activision has joined this group of video game designers giving their full support to the challenge of this law. They have decided to take this law up to the Supreme Court to deliberate on the issue. The stakeholders in this perdicament are the video game designers of America.
- Problem: This issue relates to the problems of Equality of Access and Control because the video game designers want all their games, from Early Childhood to Adult Only, to equally be able to be purchased by the young to the old and they also want the ability to sell to whoever they want to.
- This article greatly relates to me because I love to play video games of different nature. I would love to be able to buy any game I want to and to not be discriminated in account on my age.
- Solution:I believe that the law on the issue of selling violent games to minors should change but should still should be there. The law should lower its requirement for elegibility for purchasing games.
