Congressman Jim Matheson (D-Utah) has introduced a bill – H.R. 287 – to the United States House of Representatives which would give the Entertainment Software Rating Board’s rating scheme – heretofore a voluntary, self-regulatory system – the force of law and make it illegal to sell “Mature” or “Adults Only” titles to minors.
Marvel's Spider-Man 2 ESRB rating is set to "T for Teen" due to "Blood, Drug Reference, Mild Language, and Violence" present in the title.
The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has published the God of War Ragnarok ESRB rating and rating summary.
The addition of in-game purchases is noteworthy as no other game in the series is listed as having these on the official ESRB website.
click bait
UPDATE: The ESRB introduced the “in-game purchases” label in 2020. It has been pointed out to us that its presence in relation to Nintendo Switch titles has been regarding the ability to purchase a Nintendo Switch Online subscription and not any DLC or other post-release content. We regret the confusion and appreciate those who’ve brought this to our attention.
Let's hope the industry pulls through.
I'm sorta puzzled how this in any way different from the California bill that the Supreme Court already struck down as unconstitutional. Anyone?
Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
What?
so they are just trying to pass a law that many other countries already use. big deal lol
