Today, the Supreme Court has laid out what is hopefully the final word on the sale of violent video games. The case in question dealt with California’s recently passed law which made illegal the sale of violent video games to minors. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that video games receive the same First Amendment protection as books, movies and music. The Justices’ ruling makes California’s new law unconstitutional and, with any luck, holds enough weight to put bury this tired issue somewhere underground with all those unused E.T. Atari cartridges.
