If we're going to government age verification everywhere just get rid of fucking ESRB and content ratings
This is a game made in Scotland, ESRB is a voluntary US based system.
PEGI, then.
Made even sillier because Rockstar isn't a government.
Yes, it’s voluntary and self-imposed by the game industry to avoid exactly this kind of nanny-state bullshit. Ergo, if governments proceed with the bullshit anyway, then there’s no longer a need for the ESRB or PEGI.
Exactly. What's the point of AO is all major retailers pledged 20 years ago that they won't sell it? AO is basically a sales ban
