This caught my eye on Steam's store page, when I clicked on it, it led to this PDF file from supremecourt.gov.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.
THIS RULING JUST STOPS THE GOVERNMENT FROM BANNING THE SALE OF VIDEO GAMES TO MINORS. IT DOES NOT CHANGE RETAILERS RESTRICTIONS.

Awesome. More little kids to mic spam my FPS online gameplay. Still, this is pretty good for those who understand what they're doing and really want to use said types of games.

You still have to be 18 to buy Red Dead Redemption because of the 3-second love scene though.
