With all the pressure on the games industry for violent games and encouraging kids to buy violent games,does anyone else think it abit irresponsible of most if not all game ads not being rated on marketplacee,you'll watch a trailer with blood spraying everywhere and then at end will say "product not yet rated" when it pretty obvious the game going to be a 15 at least,like games that are out and rated for PC yet when ported to 360 says the above message on the trailers.Now I love blood,gore and ultra violent games but have to say even I find it quite harsh having ads like this obviously aiming at kids to nag there parents,this is the sort of  thing fueling the war on violent games and I think the big corparations should be a little bit mature,especially considering the constant pressure the industry suffers.Opinions?

If the family setting is right, I don't think kids can download any trailer that's rated M.

Well I don't have family setting so I don't know if it restricts any RP, but I do notice most of the RP are games that should be rated M without a second of hesitation but I guess as long as it's RP, the developers can get the game out to more audience and no matter what, there would still be kids playing M games.

Um, I think the GAMES arnt rated and they physicly cant be till they are completed, but Im sure they rate the trailer before they put them up just like any game site that asks you for your age before you watch a trailer of a RP game that is obviously Mature.
