The ESRB Doesn’t Matter Anymore

Jacob S. from Link-Cable writes: "For many years, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) served as a way for everyone to know which games were and weren’t appropriate for younger players but today it now stands as a mediocre attempt to stop underage children from playing these titles. The fact that the rating system and what it stood for is being completely ignored completely is baffling. The standard is long gone and the ESRB rating doesn’t matter anymore and finding a solution to this problem should be resolved without delay. So let’s all admit it. The ESRB doesn’t matter anymore."

Cyberpunk 2077 finally hit that sweet sale price for me so I went ahead and picked it up. I just started playing Dragon’s Dogma 2 though so it’ll be a while before I delve into Night City. Looking forward to it though.

I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.

Their reputation was lost way before that. From the moment Microsoft said they entering the console business, we all knew it would be a downgrade.

Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.

The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
