California Congressman, Joe Baca, who has a long history of targeting videogames with legislation, is about to push for a bill that would include adding a warning on videogames that is similar to those found on packs of cigarettes.
According to GamePolitics, the bill “creates a new rule within the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which forces games with a Teen rating or higher to be sold with a simple warning label, reading: WARNING: Excessive exposure to violent video games and other violent media has been linked to aggressive behavior.”
While we all know that games don’t cause violent behavior, Congress does too, seeing how Baca has proposed several videogame-oriented bills over the years and none have passed. Yet another Jack Thompson clone shouting “Games Are Evil!”
