Dear MR.Ruby
1.You could cheat your way threw a game to review it but that would still needlessly delay a game by months ,having the devs show the most obscene matrail is reasonable and have not failed them yet,because if GTA:SA was played threw by the ESRB they would have never saw Hot coffee if they played threw Oblivion they may still have gave it a T rating since the EXTERNAL nude patch made them pause and re review the game so Mr.Ruby do your research for all of use not just for you and yours…
2.The rating systm has been made harder to understand by the needless insertion of the descriptors dumbing it down to a movie rating like system should help with things
EL-6=Early Learning=Games made for learning for kids under the age of 6
ENV-6-Non violent games for the ages around or under 6 like puzzle games
E6+=Violent Games (like zelda) for ages around 6 and up
E10+= Games that have slighter harder content than E6+ for 10 and up
T13+=Games for teens 13 and up
T16+=Games for Older teens
M18+=Games for Adults
AO=porn games
Its simple look these are more specific than the movie system is and no one is complaining about the movie ratings….
EL,ENV=G
E6+,E10+=PG
T13+,T16+ PG13
M18+=R
AO=NC17
In the end they can make the rating system easier to understand but they can not change the review possess if they do change to playing the game threw it will create months(5-15) of delays for game releases and destroy the industry.
Is that what you want to destroy the industry?
