"The American Government has decided that after talking with well known members of the Computer Games Industry have settled on a plan to move forward with the cooperation of those companies. As part of our plan to make sure video games do not incite anyone to kill again we plan to make sure the production, sale, and purchase of video games is only available to those who have the correct license. In the same way that you need a license to drive, or shoot a gun, video games will now require a license to play. Companies will also need a license to produce games. To gain a developer license, companies will have to fulfill a number of criteria, including only producing games approve by a government oversight committee. These games must portray the American army, government and guns in a positive light, as well as uphold the Christian morals which this country holds. We have been working with EA, a world-renowned company, to ensure that we can police the sale of games and developer licensing with the proper resources. We have chosen EA's Origin distribution system as the primary method of control. All games will be exclusively sold through Origin, with EA only taking a small percentage of sales to allow them to support its infrastructure. EA will be in charge of licensing game developers and managing any companies it believes has breached these new laws. Because the costs are directly taken by EA, this system will not place extra burden on the American Taxpayers. We see this as a win-win situation and thank EA for bringing this idea to the table."
Now we need to panic |

But anyway, I'd like a source. I searched this and the first result was something about rejecting violent video game bans.

Oh great, Jack Thompsons been at it again.
But seriously. I feel bad for you Americans. You walk into a American video game store and attempt to purchase an mature game below the age of 17 and you are considered a potential psychopath. |
