247. Sure.
States restrict minors' access to all sorts of things. The states have the right to do that. Minors don't get the same rights as emancipated adults. This is not some sort of new concept. Minors can't buy Playboys, for example. Or hardcore porn. Or cigarettes. Or guns. Or alcohol. In fact, in most states, minors may not enter into a binding contract of any sort, so they can't even legally buy a car on their own when they're 16.

I have no problem with that at all if it's at the state level. The feds can't tell people that they can't make that game and sell it, but the states certainly do have the right to regulate that sale.
