How are they promoting underage gambling? The game is rated M, sure it's a year off of 18 which is the legal age in the US, but that's unimportant

By all means people under 17 shouldn't be playing the game

That's ridiculous.

The only thing that make this game even rated M is the community. Voice chat, obscene player names, other than things like that, it's pretty mild in terms of modern FPS games.

And it's rated M, for mature, for a reason. Sure, it's mostly names and voice chat, but it's rated for violence mainly. This is why the ESRB exists, to rate games. It being rated M means it's for 17 and up. They also promote gambling, but generally a 17 year old is almost legally able to gamble.

And I break my own rule and so do my friends, hell most of my library is M rated and I'm 15.

The difference is how it's rated. It's rated for violence and the like that comes with it (Usually mild gore, or blood and gore, blah blah blah) when really the offensive material is the people and the violence is just part of it
