Then they linked to this.

TL;DR, California was being stupid with their legislation, and SCOTUS laughed at them.

The decision of the court is a lengthy but worthwhile read.

moved from post failure

Basically in a very small nut shell, This smacks down California for alterior motives and over rules them in the over regularization of video games, saying that the "free" system in place the ESRB is in place for the parents not just the kids. And to do so would violate the freedom of speech as it would be unfair to regulate one form of media and not all forms. (music, movies, books,)

Beware this is 36 pages long i only covered the highlights till page 21

Here, I'll sum it up. Why go to court for something that is common sense. If you don't want your kid playing such games, then you probably should monitor what they are doing. I realize this can be challenging but what part of parenting isn't? :D

Easy answer: It's California, where responsibility for everything is always someone else's fault.

If I lived in that state, I'd high tail it out of there. It's a damn litigocracy.
