    This is actually quite eye opening to me, as someone who doesn’t really ever have to look at ratings as a consumer and has always just taken them for granted. Now I’m keenly aware it’s yet another example of runaway capitalism. Just never thought too hard about it.

    PEGI’s a cunt.

      Basically all media ratings bodies are weirdly corrupt and apply ratings without any clear rhyme or reason. There’s good reason to largely ignore the ratings as an adult and even as a parent

        My kids saw me playing it yesterday and asked if they could try. I said, “sure, why not?” They asked if they could play Fortnite and I told them there’s no way that’s happening in my house.

        If your kid wants to play a thing, at least check out a gameplay video and read a bit instead of blindly saying yes or no.
