Dear Readers: I value hearing back from people who have had their questions published in this space. Like you, I am curious about how people dealt with their dilemmas, and I wonder whether my advice was useful. I’m happy to publish this update from a reader whose original question was published in June 2012. The original Q&A is below, and the update follows. Dear Amy: My husband and my father are both video gamers. A new version of their favorite game just came out, and I became aware that it is rated M-Mature by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. The two men believe it is perfectly acceptable for our boys, ages 4 and 6, to watch and play this game. I equate an M rating with an R-rating for a movie and am insistent that the boys should not watch or play this game. The men are arguing that the kids have played previous versions, also rated M (unbeknownst to me), and therefore no harm is being done.
