Good News Everyone!
According to a release on the business wire we get here in the office, the Federal Trade Commission is happy with the efforts of the gaming industry to regulate itself:
"The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) acknowledged the video game industry’s leadership in its self-regulatory programs that provide parents the tools they need to make the best video game purchasing and rental choices for their families the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) said today.
In its fifth report since 2000 on entertainment industry marketing and advertising practices, the FTC stated that the video game rating system is a "useful and important tool" for parents, retailers have made "substantial improvement" in limiting sales of Mature-rated games to minors, and its support for "private sector initiatives by (the video game) industry and individual companies."
Nice change of pace from the old "Grab your torches and pitchforks, the Gamers want to ruin our Kids!"
In a bit I'll have the full rundown of what you can read in Saturday's Gaming page of the Poughkeepsie Journal.
