It does count, unless of course you look at all of my subsequent posts where my position changed to suggestions that manufacturers self-regulate and simply produce different games where the characters actions don't center around breaking established laws of society.

But I did say "banned" at first, so let's not consider anything said after that.

I have personally witnessed people under 18 drinking and smoking. How are video games different?

This has been exhaustively addressed. Not all stores or merchants enforce the regulation system. Even if they do, there are ways around it. Since children will obviously get their hands on the games regardless of any regulations put in place, it makes sense that manufacturers should simply not produce these games to begin with. I realize that's a fantasy, but I can always hope corporations will someday develop a conscious.
