The only thing I hate is when they try and take away games, and the fact that games that are really really bad and have an Adult Rating here in the U.S.A. can't even be found in stores. I think that games should be easy to find even if it is very violent and stuff, everyone has there right to choose.

All other ratings (3, 7,... 15 or whatever they are) are "recommendations" and to help parents decide. I have no problem with those K18 rated games, since violence/content in them can be sometimes so disturbing I don't want to touch them. Not many games get that rating though.

I'm also a parent, who plays a lot of video games. Strangely my kid is not so much interested (so far). But think it will become an issue in a few years. And then these ratings will become useful. And I'm also against any other regulations. Yes, these ratings should definitely stay on the boxes. I’m also a parent, who plays a lot of video games.

Poland is great example. There is no regulations about games, yet every game has a pegi rating on the box. Parents just want it. I agree, but there is no need for any regulations.

I do find the ratings useful also. I do the same as you, play violent games but ban my kids from playing them. I do find the ratings useful also.
