A bill in California which would've banned the sale of what are termed as violent video games to minors has been derailed Reuters reports.
The bill was shelved after Assemblyman Leland Yee could not garner the votes needed for it to pass the full Assembly.
The bill would've fined violators $1,000 and required that all violent games be labeled as such.
There is a chance though that the bill could be reactivated in future.
"I don't think the fight is over in California," Doug Lowenstein, president of the Entertainment Software Association, told Reuters.
