The price of GTA 5 will increase? A member of the U.S. Congress called for a tax on violent video games
Us Congressman proposed to impose a 10 percent tax on games rated M. GTA 5, of course, is also under the gun
Representative of the state of Rhode island, member of the Republican party Robert Nardolillo proposed to tax all video games rated "M" (17 years+). The reason is the old: Robert cites studies by the American psychological Association, which allegedly proved a direct correlation between violent video games and aggression manifested by children in playing them.
From each sold copy of the game, subject to age rating "M" will be charged a ten percent tax. All funds will be directed to the "special account", and then distributed between the various educational institutions. Thus, according to Nardolillo, schools will have additional resources that they can use to help their students in terms of psychological support.
And Yes, based on the foregoing, it is easy to calculate that if, for example, GTA 5 is $ 64, then its value, in case of realization of ideas, Nardolillo will rise to $ 70, and in Russia, in the same circumstances, the price of the game would increase from 4,000 to 4,400 rubles. How you like them apples?
