    No, they don’t. The private entities in question are the ESRB and MPAA.

    They’re run by the ESRB and MPAA respectively, neither of which are government entities.

      …right, which is why I said, “if the store selling them has a policy not to.” I didn’t say anything about the government.

        I didn’t say anything about retailers or the government. Try reading before replying.

        The MPAA and ESRB are neither.

          I…did. I never claimed the MPAA or ESRB are either of those. I said that a store or business (i.e. movie theater) will follow a policy based on the rating those entities give a game or movie. I don’t understand why you’re disagreeing with my original comment when that is in fact what happens. Just ask a 13-year-old to try and get into an R-rated movie at the theaters where that theater enforces those policies. Same thing with buying M-rated games at a major retailer. The government nor those ratings companies don’t enforce anything, the businesses do.

            In context your comment said the MPAA and ESRB prevent children from accessing media. They do not.
