Are all game rating systems just complete and utter garbage? Dare you to find a good one.
The ESRB isn’t awful, it’s not perfect of course, but I think it’s pretty dang good for what it is.
I mean the point of all rating systems in the US was fear of government regulation of content and having to fight that particular legal battle. It basically exists because moral busybodies were upset about Night Trap, Mortal Kombat and Doom.
Yes, this is true. And I think the industry managed to pull together a pretty decent one.
