Gamasutra is issuing a final reminder for interested professionals to comment on our latest "Question Of The Week" feature, discussing the ESRB rating system and retail restrictions to mature-rated titles, will close at the end of tomorrow, The question, which can be answered at the official Question Of The Week page until July 21st, is: "Do you think that the ESRB and retailers do a good job of rating and controlling access to video games in North America, and is government legislation to control game rating and distribution a good idea?" As with the previous questions, the best responses will be compiled into an article to be published on the site, and users can either respond publically, with their name and company specifically cited, or anonymize their answers if they wish.
