Both Scalia and Alito concurred with judgement. Essentially the judgement was that video games fall into the same category as books and other media that are protected by the 1st amendment.

Absolutely nothing is preventing you from telling your kids that they can’t have whatever video games you deem inappropriate. There is nothing in this ruling that prevents that. THe ruling is specifically against the STATE’s ability to restrict “speech”.

Yes, and this is a travesty. The ruling says that children have the First Amendment right to purchase such materials. If you think that its good that kids have THE RIGHT to any materials that are protected, then all I can say is that I disagree. And I’m not even respectful about it. I find that opinion excreble.
