prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks agoDo these rating boards actually ever prevent games from being released? Aside from maybe Germany or whatever…

Has happened multiple times in Australia.
Very similar to that for films, the rating board process mostly regulates games in development. In the US, for example, the AO rating will prevent your game from being sold at mass market storefronts. When your game has borderline content, it’s a back-and-forth process that’s resolved before release.
