51 to life Very Happy Are you already making a sequel of 25 to life?

I don't think you understand politicians. Let me help you:

They don't care about the game, how many copies it sells, or even if someone actually does play it and then goes and kills some people (however ridiculous the very idea of that is).

They care about votes and convincing parents that they are "looking out for the children" as well as gaining support with various police organizations. Parent group & cop group lobbyists > game industry lobbyists, and that's all that matters. As long as guys like Chuck Schumer are all talk and no action about these games, I'm sure the game industry thanks them for the free advertising anyway.

Games are a safe target to criticize; it saves them from doing their jobs and having to talk about tougher issues which might actually require some thinking and possibly even committing to a position which is unpopular with some of their consitituents.
