The article was written by the creator of the first MUD. Basically the forerunners for MMO's. It is kind of a rant but the points do hit home. He is basically stating that all the old people that run the govt at the moment do not sympathise (sp) with gamers because they were not gamers themselves. The next upcoming generation of government elected officials are going to be of the age that they most likely grew up gaming. This leads them to realize that most of the banning and bad press about games floating around is purely misinformed babble.

That being said. I do not in any way support the selling of games including violent/mature content to younger audiences. I believe that the parents should be the ones making the informed decisions. This does not give anyone the right to say that the developers cannot make such games or that I (legally of age) should be prohibited from buying such games. Considering I can walk into the local best buy and pick up a Playboy video, I should also be able to purchase said video games.
