Ratings Systems: ESRB vs PEGI
Posted: April 2nd, 2015, 3:11 pm
A few years ago the UK went with the European PEGI instead of its own system or the American ESRB. There are differences, such as violence getting higher suggested ages in PEGI, and gambling being a factor in PEGI (gets an automatic 12 and a warning content icon). Another PEGI thing is discrimination, which gets an automatic 18. Discrimination is defined as harrassment based on many things including disability I believe. PEGI also has an icon for online mode too. PEGI, I think, is independent of the industry, much larger (ESRB is a quite small group in NYC), and has more authority in some countries. Canada seems to use ESRB except Quebec. Japan has its own system.
Violence, gambling, sexual situations, independence, authority, content warnings, or self censorship and review boards in general, get yourself some hot coffee and tell us what you think?
