I assume the reason for this this is prevent minors becoming violent because of video games...
Honestly, if a 12 year old commits a crime because they want to try and replicate something on GTA, then its the parents fault, not the game producers. Outlawing violent games won't solve anything, parents just need to act more responsibly if their kid isn't mature enough to handle violent video games.

Well no it isn't. They already passed a resolution banning the sale of violent videogames to minors. This is a second resolution that was passed to ban violent videogames all together.
Of course Switzerland has a bicameral legislative body, so neither is law as of yet. The resolution that's set ban all violent games barely passed and will likely be shot down. It sounds like it was proposed to get the first resolution to pass.
