But retailers, too, must be pressed to check ID before selling the game to children who most assuredly will seek to purchase it.
I’ve never seen a retailer sell one of the GTA games, or any other M rated game, to children. I have, however, watched tons of clueless and/or downright uncaring parents buy them for their children, some who looked as young as eight.
It’s amazing, isn’t it?
