LOL!!!! Let me remind all you MTX haters and dreamers against it that Jagex has only 2% child gamers.
No hypothetical laws protecting child gamers that even if they would pass and be enforced would hurt Jagex's business as the remaining 2% of their "child gamers" would turn 18 overnight.
Besides, such "addictive" internet e-commerce marketing practices targeted at children were already being brought against e-bay since the beginning of this century but we should all know e-bay has been business as usual all the time.
No governments can ban e-commerce. Nobody can ban e-bay. In fact, even age verification is already ruled unconstituational in the USA. Nobody can even enforce it. They only need to put up a parental guidance statement much like one suggested by ESRA and that's it and all the real world responsibilites will be in the parents' court.

Throw darts blindfolded a hundred times, one of them will stick, and that's good enough.
They already threw the darts 9000 times, but the ones that stick hit their own butts always.
If you by their own butts you mean the success that is in Belgium and Netherlands, then yes, agree completely! The gaming industry has bit their own butts when they had the chance to self regulate but instead chose to greed and now the politicians have to do their job for them. °l||l° Modest Skillers T7 Citadel | Skilling clan recruiting players. °l||l°

LOL!!!! Let me remind you that anyone can lie about their age on the internet.
Who said that? If they couldn't lie, how come there were parents complaining about their kids using their credit cards to make online payments to ebay and video games?
You know when they really can't lie? Let me tell you. That's when some "13 year old kids" try to complain about the payments and Jagex ask them to show their real world identities with real world ID proofs and uh oh... they can't lie or they go to jail.

Hm. I wonder how long before the UK, Russia, France, Australia, Canada and every other place gets sick of the game companies shit and does the same.
Hm. They don't. These countries, particularly UK which is in the same vein of laws as Ireland already have well established laws about e-commerce and parental guidance already.
And more importantly, these countries don't even have a legistrative system like the US Congress which allows any bozo to submit >9000 aimless bills every year.
