What is ESRB? 2 The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is a voluntary organization concerned with rating video games. The ESRB was founded in 1994 as a self-regulatory body, and it has gained remarkable results on their rating system. The ESRB rates nearly 1,000 video games every year, associating with child development specialists, child center experts and universities’ academics. « »

What does ESRB Rating for? 3 ESRB ratings provide guidance about a game's content, not its quality. Ratings are designed to give parents concise and impartial information about a game's content and age suitability so that they can make informed purchase decisions. « »

How to use ESRB Symbols? 4 The ESRB uses symbols and content descriptors as main items in specifying the rating system. The symbols helps parents to distinguish the age suitability, however, the content descriptors give a short phrase about some elements that caused a specific rating or indicate an interest or concern. The ESRB described more that 30 levels of rating system helping parents to identify the rating of cartoon violence, fantasy violence, intense violence and sexual violence. « »

Rating Pending 13 The "Rating Pending" symbol is only for use in advertising and marketing materials released prior to the assignment of an ESRB rating. Publishers will sometimes place advertisements for a game prior to it having been rated, and in these circumstances they may use the "Rating Pending" symbol in advertisements for that game until a rating has been assigned. Once a rating has been assigned, however, all ads placed thereafter must carry the ESRB rating. « » Back to Rating Symbols

What is after ESRB Rating? 14 Vivendi’s O’Neil said in a statement “In the end nothing is more paramount than having parents involved… No third- party rules or regulations can ever replace that” Overall, it can be inferred that parents’ responsibility still in a first place and work in parallel to provide a well-control rating system. « »
