Do you agree with ESRB ratings systems? Should children be allowed to play games for older demographics without any purchase restriction? Should AO rated games be sold on store shelves no issue?

Kids should be able to play whatever the fuck they want but people shouldn't be allowed to play multiplayer in M games until they're 17+.
Adults don't want to deal with kids' screeching in something like Gears of War when they should be playing pokemon games at their age.

Whatever the ESRB is, they're not nearly as heinous as the MPAA's ratings board.

What did they mean by this?

PEGI's overall ratings and designs just work better and make more sense.
I'm fine with restricting purchase, parents should actually be responsible for their kids instead of crying that the minimum wage Gamestop clerk isn't their babysitter.
M and AO really shouldn't be separated. Right now the only difference is whether the publisher can bribe the ratings board enough. Keep it as a single 18+ rating that's sold in stores. It's not like combining the two automatically means stores are forced to sell porn or gambling games.

I think it's fine, especially after the inclusion of E10+ where before the age difference between E and T was way too big and any game that had punching in it was an automatic T most of the time.

Every game should be AO even games meant for three year olds. That way the parents have no recourse when little billy plays gtav and sees pee pees, boobies, and sex. Because mommy HAS to buy games for him.

Put responsibility back on parents.

What games are even A rated anyway?

Almost nothing, due to the fact that no retailer carries AO games therefore there's no real difference between being AO and unrated. It mostly just exists as a threat for M-rated games to not go "too far." Anything that isn't a porno or casino game just ends up being recut to fit an M-rating.

None of them, because there is no such thing as an "A" rating.

Don't care about ratings. Don't play multiplayer only trash, so who plays what is irrelevant to me.

it's eCE ET MAo RP

what's the point of the Ao rating if rarely any game use it and anything with that rating is either banned or forbidden to be sold?

Why even have M and AO when the age difference is literally 1 ?

what's the point of you having a penis if you never have sex?

To strongarm developers into cutting anything that the moral guardians deem unacceptable, which is becoming less and less relevant of a threat thanks to digital.

CEET MARP

Games targeted toward preschoolers with no appeal to adults.

>Movies can have a tiny, barely illegible rating that practically blends into the background on the back of the box/at the very bottom of the poster
>Games must have a giant fucking logo right on the front and more on the back
Why?

>What games use eC ?
Its exclusively used for edutaiment games for pre-schoolers/early-schoolers, the rating is more commonly used than AO
Platformers and other games not focused on education automatically get an E rating

i dont care about them really. they hardly matter anymore considering kids can just buy the game digitally anyway. most parents will just buy their kid an M rated game because nobody actually gives a fuck

>Retarded parents still ignore the ratings, buy GTA V just because their 10 year old child asked for it and after they find out what it is about 6 months later they blame the poor Gamestop employees for perverting their innocent "angel" with the Devil's electronic game.
That's why

Every steam game with nudity

>Why even have M and AO when the age difference is literally 1 ?
Mature is like R-rated movies, kids and teenagers can legally play/watch them if their parents or an adult wants to buy it for them from Wal-Mart or whatever.
AO is kinda like the NC-17 rated movies that are supposed to be exclusively for adults for reasons like too much weird sex in an artfilm and are pretty much "banned" everywhere even if their isn't any real legal reason to do it since games/movies are protected by the 1st amendment as artforms, its a form of self censorship by the industry.
American ratings are weird and not very straightforward.

>What games are even A rated anyway?
>Hatred
>Thrill Kill (never released and the game is tame for today's M-rated standards)
>Technically unpatched GTA San Andreas 1.0 (even if there was never an AO labelled version on sale)
>Some obscure old PC or 3DO porny games
>Some uncensored VNs
>An online casino were you gamble real money
And that's it
