  1. An interesting topic! I think the age of the child when they're being introduced to the game is very significant. A child's (such as your 9 year old's) brain simply isn't developed enough to draw clear lines between fantasy and reality, which means they'll take lessons from video games into the real world more readily than an adult would. We can play GTA and relax, knowing that when we turn off the game, that mentality of sandbox violence ends, and we can return to the real world.

    The others made very valid points about other factors in the child's life (including things as simple as personality), but in the end I do think that children should be kept to age-appropriate games.PG for children, T for Teen, etc. I've seen young children (9-12) become extremely obsessed with M-rated video games, and worry about their development as a result.

  2. To be honest, I agree with @Syntax here. They did offer money for people's seats, up to $800, and a few other passengers took the money and left voluntarily. When a flight offers to buy your seat like that, they also book you on the next soonest flight out, so that's $800 free bonus money for roughly 2-3 hours of inconvenience. He was manhandled, sure, and it appeared overly aggressive in the video, but had he simply stood up and walked with them when the security came over he wouldn't have been dragged around.

    I do also remember two different petsites either actively trying to implement it or waiting for it to be finished, but I rather assumed it died with VPL. I hope they're able to finish it. The site being down doesn't exactly bode well, I hope no one's sunk money somewhere it won't return, so to speak. I should perhaps keep my curious nose out of it X)
