  1. With the bar set extraordinarily high for NC-17 and AO for films and video games, the only reason for the MPA and the ESRB to apply those ratings is to condemn a work's contents, with the effect of damaging its commercial prospects, while at the same time making it seem mystical to all the daring. Who said anything about being informative?

  11. This is an absolutely terrible idea and the fact that the ESRB is spearheading it makes me frustrated to no end. There is absolutely no reason to go this route for mature rated game sales. This is a violation of privacy. It is easily manipulated. It is prone to false negatives. Why would we do this after fighting off attempts to restrict M rated game sales in ways that aren't even this bad. No!

  14. #FinalFantasyXVI banned in #SaudiArabia

    FFXVI has a 'Mature' #ESRB rating for drug use, hate crimes, and some sex scenes

    FFXVI won't be available for #PS5 owners residing in Saudi Arabia come June 22 for vague reasons.

    According to a translated official kingdom statement, the game will not be released in Saudi Arabia "due to the publisher's unwillingness to make the necessary modifications" to the game.

    Speculation points to the same-sex couple in the game.

  15. After having seen youtube commercials for the wizard game about 50 times in the last few days, I noticed that it opens with the #ESRB T for teen logo. And now I have to wonder, why doesn't the ESRB factor in queerphobia or antisemitism?

  16. I figure this might be an issue other people with kids or young relatives they are buying games for might run into so I wanted to share a useful resource. If you want to look up the rating for a game, and the reasoning behind the rating, check out ESRB.org.

    They give really detailed explanations for why many games got the ratings they received in a format that makes sense.

  17. This graph shows the proportions of each #ESRB content descriptor among each age rating. It's just barely possible to have Mature Humor in a game rated Teen.
