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.

Fuck the ESA
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.
