soon be decided by the pan-European PEGI rated 12 + to be enforceable for the first time
The video system is an old game rating simplification, following proposals by the British government Thursday.
Currently, all games are covered by the scheme across Europe PEGI, which sets the age ratings and guidelines on the content of the game
However, titles with adult content are classified by the British Board of Film Classification, and they are required to show a BBFC "15" certificate or "18". The proposals that pass through the parliament, PEGI will be solely responsible for the whole game ratings.
more, the "12 +" PEGI will become legally binding for the first time, which means that anyone who sells a 12 + designated the title of the youngest children will face fines up to £ 5000 and a prison sentence or comments.
age-rating will be held in the UK by the Video Standards Council. The organization must have the authority to deny a note to any title which contains the "extreme content", this is not available for sale in Britain.
The BBFC are rarely simple "bans" in video games. The title of the violent conduct Carmageddon initially denied an age group in 1997, but the editor of the SCI has made changes to the content and then appealed against the decision of the Board.
- In 2007, the BBFC refused to grant a rating of Manhunt 2 from Rockstar, but after an eight-month legal battle, a revised version was published.
"It will give parents greater confidence that their children can not get good games at the same time, we create a simpler system for the gaming industry has its nominal age."
