The gaming industry isn't bad, the uncontrolable customers and retailers are, as Jonbo said. GTA:VC is clearly rated M for Mature, it says on the box, it says on the commercial, it says on mag ads, etc. It's up to the government(s) to start cracking down on who gets to buy what. It's also up to the parent's of these kids to control what they're seeing/playing.
The bottom line is: retailers should only sell Mature rated games for those over 17, and parent's should aks the retailers whats for mature audiences and whats not. My little cousin rents CFBD on N64 all the time, and his Mom doesn't even know the content of the game. Which is sad, really.
