ESRB Should Stand Down?

Next Generation has a piece wondering if the ESRB should step down in favour of an independent board, to restore the faith of consumers in the game ratings system. They talk with a company that proposes just that, wanting to substitute a new system for the current model. From the article: "Profanity Sex Violence (PSV) Ratings differ from the ESRB in that they describe levels of sex, violence and profanity in games (using a traffic light system) instead of judging a game to be appropriate for a certain age."

shut the fuck up, really

[Ender Ryan]

The ESRB is an organisation funded by the gaming industry to rate their games how they pay them to rate them.

Would you stop spouting this unsubstantiated nonsense, please? It seems clear from all the discussions you participate in regarding gaming, you are not really very involved in the gaming community, and you go on spouting this conspiracy theory bullshit.

Nothing infuriates me more than people who want to interfere with other people so much, especially when they are seemingly so far removed. Really, do shut the fuck up.
