Top Comments of this video!! :3
Parents: We need a way to be able to tell what games are and are not appropriate for our children!!!
American Government: Okay, we made the ESRB which will tell you if what games are and are not appropriate for children.
Parents: buys their kids M rated games Holy crap! This game is so graphic! How were we ever able to know that?!?!

the problem has stopped being that kids are being exposed to violence, it's that kids are being exposed to gambling and spending money on cosmetics. if the esrb system were to be reworked, it should base ratings with gambling first and violence second, and be much more strict and punishing for gambling (example: covering half the box of the game with a giant text saying "this game contains transactions that request real money to give you a chance at winning")

The problem with the ESRB is that it causes two different responses in parents. They either stick to it so strictly that they end up preventing their kid from playing a game they could easily handle or they ignore it completely and buy their kid the most inappropriate games on the market.
Itâs not that difficult to have a middle ground if you look at the box for 2 seconds. Like, my dad always checked the back of the box to see exactly why a game got a certain rating so he could decide if it was appropriate. âRated M due to violence? Sure, he can get that one.â Or âOh, sexually explicit content. Put that one back.â

The fact that YouTube forces you to censor the word "Swastikas" at 16:46 when discussing how the German rating system has become more lax as of late is some next level irony.

I feel like trying to use strict age brackets is kinda difficult, even arbitrary. Instead, maybe moving towards a system to more effectively pronounce the things in a game that might be worthy of pointing out as its own specific seal on the front. If a game has gore, have a seal on the front that has a simple outline like you'd see on warning posters with "GORE" underneath it. If it has elements of gambling or microtransactions/lootboxes, then add a "gambling" label next to the gore label. Some parents don't care about if their kid is playing a game with gore and violence, but change tune when they realize their child is being psychologically targeted with gambling. Simply slapping an M on the front might not make enough of a difference for them to notice.

Oof, I remember having to negotiate HARD with my parents about ESRB ratings because they did (and still do) not really understand what a video game is and took those rating very strictly. Case in point, I was not allowed to buy a single-player poker game for the Wii because it was rated T for gambling... even though my dad had already taught me how to play poker.

Imagine parents actually parenting and just looking up information about the games their kids want to buy and watching gameplay videos or trying it themselves, or otherwise watching their kids while they play video games and making sure its not affecting them negatively⌠instead of insisting they get laws telling them whatâs okay and then getting censorships in M rated games when they ignore those.

I just want to correct for AA: Dual Destinies that the reason it was rated M was probably because of the fact that some of the anime cutscenes have a TON of blood in them compared to other entries. Itâs nothing serious but itâs frequently used as a shock factor.
The sequel to the game was also on the 3DS and rated T so it wouldnât make sense the 3D feature bumped it up.
