So you don't think you're affected by the California video game law. Think again--the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on the controversial issue could very well affect the games you play.

It all began in 2005 when California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that banned the sale or rental of “violent video games” to minors, effectively treating it like pornography. According to the bill, “violent video games” are games “in which the range of options available to a player includes killing, maiming, dismembering, or sexually assaulting an image of a human being”. Retailers that do not comply with this directive would have to pay a fine of $1,000.
