This pretty much solidifies games as a protected art form. I couldn't be happier with this decision. There's some choice bits in there as well, slapping down California.

This is good for everyone, now games can avoid becoming comic books all over again.

If the seller chooses to. The MPAA rating system is voluntary, not a government mandate.

Legally yes. Most stores have a voluntary corporate policy that limits the sale of R rated movies to minors though.
