After reading the bill, I'm not opposed to it on practical grounds. For a $60 game, it's $0.60. Who cares. Furthermore, the revenue would go exclusively towards the treatment of mental health conditions, which is just fine with me, as I believe the real cause of these violent outbursts is a lack of support system for those who need it most. What I disagree with in this bill is the use of the privately run, industry controlled ESRB as the measuring stick for what is and isn't violent. Not only are they terrible at accurately rating games (in my opinion), they're not even being given the chance to distinguish between violent video games and other kinds of mature video games (complex plot, general adult themes, etc.) ALL T rated games or higher would be taxed, regardless of the level of violence in the game itself. That's simply inaccurate, and displays a very fundamental lack of knowledge on the topic. Don't try to regulate what you don't understand, please. Not to mention the fact that, if this wins, it's further legitimizing the absolutely absurd notion that video games are the cause of these exceptionally rare and exceptionally violent outbursts. I can't agree with that.
