So Letting my 6 YO play GTA Vice City, is a bad thing ?

That was sarcasm right?

[Paulus]

Bad is relative... All that matters is that your 6YO has fun.

that's why it's rated M, and retailers aren't allowed to sell it to people under 17.

LETTING the 6 year old play is the key here. Parents are responsible for what games their children are exposed to.

I don't think it's the video game makers who should be under fire here. Plus it says it has negative in-game effects, as in expulsion or demotion in the force. Plus you can pass out and lose your money and stuff.

I don't see how this game is any more harmful to society than most of the movies that come out in the theater. People focus on kids playing these games, but that isn't the game maker's fault. Hence why they rated it mature.
