If you look closely at the PEGI thread, Computerfan is the only person to post there who would actually use PEGI.
But why does it need to be?
Because it does.
But that's stupid.

This.
PEGI is used to rate how friendly the online usage of a game, right? Or is it just an outside of America thing? Like… Britain's version of the ESRB?
Whatever it is, I'm sure it's different than ESRB.

The latter is correct.

Thanks for fixing the mistake. I don't care, though.


Also, I added the missing quote.

Hi, PEGI user here.
I'm gonna state my opinion, but I don't think Street Fighter games need a 12+ rating.
There's a thread for PEGI.

I'm guessing 12+ in ESRB would be T, and I think Street fighter deserves that rating. While I haven't actually played any street fighter games, if something like SSBB can get a T, then SF deserves a T, as it appears the violence is a little more realistic.

The old ones were rated E and still are today.
The same can be said about the original Smash Bros.

On CSM, the parents have rated Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 12+. They have also rated COD3 the same.

Wow.
They're all idiots.
I mean, to an extent. I have no idea why MK8DX would be on the same level as COD3, but I'm sure there's a minimally decent reason.

For some reason, an annoying Cloudflare message comes up when I try to access Common Sense Media. And I can't even load the Captcha.

DA HECK?!?!

I've played MK8DX a billion times and I haven't seen a single thing that's 12+. The most violent thing in MK8DX are the bombs, which are treated as cartoony.

Parents are over sensitive these days.

This. I'm not allowed to play Shadow the Hedgehog (an E10+ game, mind you) because of Shadow saying ‘d***’.

My parents do not allow me to play that same game because of gun usage.

There's a game which was found in court to contain illegal images (can't get into specific detail on Scratch, but it is illegal to even possess these images) that the ESRB never revoked their rating for; if you search for it on their site, it's still rated M.

Could the ESRB's negligence be used in a court of law, I wonder? “Your honor, this game has officially been approved for sale and rated ‘Mature’ by a ratings board that parents and sensitive players regularly depend on. How was I supposed to know it contained illegal content?”

Most stores don't sell the game anymore, but it still turns up in places/online.

Dude, PEGI is the same thing as other rating systems. You're all mistaken.
