I don’t know where companies are getting the idea that putting a number in the place of a letter is a good idea for sequels, but let me go ahead and clear it up in case any industry heavyweights are reading this – No.  It’s not.  Stop it.

Because Congress doesn’t have enough stuff to argue about right now, Rhode Island has recently proposed a bill that holds retails employees responsible for selling Mature(M) or Adults Only(AO) rated titles to underage kids – to the tune of going to jail.  The bill would make selling a Mature game to anyone younger than 17, or an Adults Only game to anyone less than 18, a misdemeanor punishable by fines or possible jail time.

While this is probably a good move for Rhode Island since people often forget it exists, it looks to me like one more way to force retailers to do a parent’s job for them.  If your kid is playing a Mature rated game and you don’t know about it, that doesn’t strike me as the retailer’s fault.

But at least with fines in place stores would stop selling M or AO rated games to kids.  Because, you know, kids can’t buy alcohol or cigarettes.  Ever.
