Its education about games thats needed for parents.

Its something that will probably get better as time moves on, the average age of a gamer is now above 30 and has been for a while, within a generation most parents will probably have had experience with games and so will understand how to manage the way their children play.

This will hopefully aid in the issue of parents letting kids barely into their teens play COD games, and then blaming the developers when they hear their kids swearing and shouting into their mics through the door...

If a game says its for 50/18+ then take it seriously, and at least research the game before buying it. Its laziness thats the core of the problem.

Since the rise of streaming there's way to much content for governing bodies to shift through themselves so it's become standard practice in many places to rate it yourself on where you feel it fits into the scale so this is not the only thing that extorts the system but just one that got caught.

However back in my day you'd be selling a game on its rating being super high like doom but guess times have changed
