I don't know or really care what the industry's reasons are for not wanting this to happen. I don't think this will destroy anything I hold dear; at 20 years old this law will have no effect on my personal ability to buy games. I'm against this because I see it as unecessary government involvement. This isn't really a matter of me trusting the ESRB over the government, but I don't see any reason to involve the government because I see no benefit that it would bring. Most retailers already adhere to the guidelines given by the ESRB, so there would be very little gained by forcing those few remaining retailers to follow this law. The movie industry in the US only has a voluntary rating system in place, and I don't see why that isn't good enough for the game industry as well.
