ESRB will not adopt PEGI age-rating changes in the US as it "could be confusing"
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) will not adopt changes to its age-rating system announced by Pan-European Games Information (PEGI), citing potential user confusion. The ESRB maintains its ratings are based solely on game content and context, while PEGI is integrating factors like in-game purchases and communication into its system. PEGI's director general acknowledged the ESRB's concerns but defended the changes as necessary to keep parents informed.
