Um. We are talking about "rules NOBODY follows." That would suggest that everyone murders people.
I didn't say everyone on the street became Michael Myers. I was trying to say there have been more murders going on in recent years that it seems that the world is slowly becoming a world where murders are everywhere, but it seems I didn't give that impression.
On a more realistic note, "This game is rated M for players 18+"
Unless you're with a parent or guardian that accepts buying the game for the 17 or younger child.
The game is for "layers 18+" and the parent/guardian is buying the game for a underage "layer." The parent/guardian isn't playing the game, and even if they buy it for the kid, he (or she) is still underage.
There's not a rule saying the kid has to be 18+ to play it, they even need to have the child bring in a parent/guardian to buy it anyways. Parents in this generation should easily be able to tell if a game is an M rating and if it's ok for their child to play, at least I would hope parents are smart enough to actually do that.
This is basically how it works; kid shows up and he's under the age of 18, tries to buy M rated game, responsible store clerk turns him down. Now let's do a different scenario. Same thing but the kid has a reliable adult, now this could go both ways, parent says no to the game, its not going to be bought. However the parent could also say yes and the game is then bought. It all works with parent permission.
However you're also not wrong. As there can be cases where the kid can bribe the store clerk into letting him buy it, the store clerk may not notice its M rated(that would be a bad store clerk), and the kid could even steal it(breaking another rule).
I wasn't really disagreeing with you more like adding a little something to the recipe.
Here in the dorms, Cesar Chavez weekend is a no-guest weekend. No matter how tight they think dorm security is, though, people who don't live in the building always find a way in during these so-called lockdowns.
