The Entertainment Software Rating Board(ESRB) is a non-profit, self-regulatory body established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). ESRB assigns computer and video game content ratings, enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines and helps ensure responsible online privacy practices for the interactive entertainment software industry.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age-appropriateness and content of computer and video games so that they can make informed purchase decisions about the games they deem suitable for their children and families.
Suggest age appropriateness for the game, and appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada. [分級標識]提示該遊戲的年齡適宜性。出現在任何遊戲的正面包裝盒上,用於在美國和加拿大零售
