Black Friday approaches, Support the ESRB for Small Government

As Black Friday approaches, millions will venture out into the public zoo’s that are our American malls.? The video game industry is still on track to do $22 billion in sales this year, and the holiday season will help project that figure forward.

Fans of the industry have supported the ESRB (Entertainment Software Regulatory Board) for some time.? The video game industry has created one of the best self regulatory boards ever created.? We at thelobbyist want to remind gamers with little kiddies to check the ESRB ratings before purchasing their games this season.? Another great site to check out is WhatTheyPlay.com, a website devoted to keeping parents abreast of popular video games their kids may be playing, and what content is in those games, giving parents the opportunity to acertain whether the product is something they want their kids to play or not.

Continued support of the ESRB and websites like WhatTheyPlay is key to keeping government out of the industry and keeping it under self regulation.
