What Do Kids Want for Holiday Gifts? Video Games, Of Course! They Also Want Their Parents to Game Alongside Them (www.prnewswire.com)

Three in five kids are asking for video games this holiday season – and just as many hope their parents will play video games with them. The Entertainment Software Association encourages caregivers to take control of the gameplay experience by using ESRB ratings and parental controls.

What did they do to you?

They're a lobbyist for giant publishers. They work really hard to prevent regulating loot boxes/gambling, console jailbreaking, and are behind pretty much any evil thing the industry does. If they were in the EU, they'd no doubt fight against the stop killing games initiative too.

I have gotten IARC ratings for a couple of games and unless you are Nintendo with millions of dollars to use to get a game down to a children's rating, your game has a 15+ rating. Any violence against humanoids is an auto 15+ without any blood or gore. So that is a PEGI 16+ or ESBR 17 Mature for indie games. They do some serious magic to check all the boxes to make children's games.
