Reply #15: Which would have meant I couldn't buy it.

[Occulus]

NO store- Gamestop, Best Buy, Target, Meijer, Circuit City, etc, and etc., will carry an AO rated game. To get it, I *nust* buy it online. I have no choice.

I do not have a valid CC. I *have* one, but I'm paying it off, and intentionally had it shut down so I could pay it off without adding to the charges. This was a couple years ago.

If I can't buy a game off the shelf, I can't buy the game, period. Therefore, to me, it's de facto censorship, and please spare me the lecture about CC "abuse". I know what happened, and learned my lesson years ago.

This is the ONLY CC I have ever had. But I can't use it to buy anything, and once it's paid off, I'm done with that industry forever. That, however, is irrelevant.

I can't buy AO rated games. Period.

My solution: retailers should be required to carry AO rated games. They don't have to display them, and they can go ahead and ask for ID, but by just yanking them off the shelf, they're very effectively censoring them from a VERY large segment of the adult population.

This is wrong.

People like the Aforementioned Poster Who Shall Not Be Named cackle with glee at my dilemma, until they can't see certain movies or read certain books. Well, welcome to my world.

I'm an adult. I should be able to buy the games I choose to buy. I can't, because I "need" a CC to do so.

Is it SO HARD to keep AO games out of view, under the counter, with maybe a small sign saying, "We do sell AO rated games. Ask for them."

WHY is this so difficult to understand- and why SHOULDN'T I see it as the exact form of censorship we're all supposed to be against?
