About Me


Yo East Coast, where you at?

Hello, fellow D-toiders, my name is Andrew and I reside in New York City. It has been such an amazing experience being a part of this wonderful community. From my activities as a host of the Friday Night Fight events to becoming one of the community members responsible for handling the Destructoid NY group, coordinating East Coast meetups to helping the PAX meetup group, I have loved every minute of my time spent with this community.

Please hang out with other Dtoid members whether it would on the main site chat to your local Dtoid group. It can be life changing, trust me on that.

Rumortoid: Wal-Mart is going to make you feel bad about buying M rated games
power-glove | 4:54 AM on 02.12.2008 22 comments


Many people do not like shopping at Wal-Mart. Now gamers may have a reason not to shop at Wal-Mart, Wal-Mart will be instituting a new policy that will annoy gamers to no end. It involves covering up certain video game covers. This is from a company spokesperson, “It is the responsibility of Wal-Mart to protect our children from potentially damaging content, such as the covers of some video games,” said a company spokesperson. Really, I could have sworn it was the parent's responsibility to this.
This is example of what they are going to do.
Thanks a lot Wal-Mart, you actually willing to embarrass your consumers for buying a game. Wow, I'm starting to feel dirty about buying DMC4.

Edit:Unfortunately, the original site that posted the info is not isn't a shining example of journalistic integrity, so this seems like it is just a rumor.

When you a buy a M-rated game, god kills a kitten.

Please, think of the kittens.

well the cover of soul caliber and dead or alive games won't fare well either i'm guessing.

M Rated games are the new porn, apparently.

Since when are the covers the controversial part of gaming? Lame.

But Bully was rated T!

All this is going to do is make kids more intrigued about M rated games... if it's so bad you can't even see the cover, they'll want them even more.

The icing on the cake would be if they put the game in a red plastic bag after you bought it.

Sad Panda. Now I guess I know right away which games I'm going to be most likely interested in though. Sad for those Employees when they go searching for thegame when you're calling the store.

Corporate bullshit! Like Walmart is that high & mighty. Give me a break. They just don't want a lawsuit filling against their store. For burning a bad image into some snotfuck kid's head.

Also, It's possible they want to attract more parents to buy their Wii games. ( Comfortability )... Besides when did rated M games become like Porn mags. ( Foil Plastic Covers ) Sad Panda indeed.
