maybe one of you guys can ask on Ask Gamespot. Anyways this site is for people 13 and over right?, well suppose there was a video game to come out with ultra levels of violence and sex (and that's what the game was all about, so there would be no way to show other pics of gameplay) and suppose it became popular, would cnet allow GS to cover the game in anyway? or would they pixelate vids and pics of the game?

And since this thread isn't really about games and more aboutthe site I posted here.

The general way to handle it on any videogame media site is to put what they call an "Age Gate" in front of the video where you have to put in your age to verify that you're old enough to watch the video. It's a completely useless step in preventing kids from seeing the content but it's A-OK legally. That's like porn sites that are legally obligated to put that "Are you 18?" entrance link. Yeah, like kids are going to say:

"Sweet, porn!! Oh man, I'm not 18, I guess I should click the 'I'm not 18 link"

Man that "Age Gate" pisses me off. I try to watch a MGS video or Halo review and it forces me to close the video after watching one of those annoying ads. Then I have to log out, go back to the page with the link, open the video and sit through the ad again.
