Clarified game labeling
Apparently parents and shopkeepers are confused about the fact that
games that have been rated “18″ by the BBFC are not to be sold to persons
below that age. Clearly it’s the clarity of the labelling (which in the case of BBFC rated games, is the same as that for films) that’s the problem here. The BBC is reporting that
The government is holding a further meeting on Friday with industry and retail representatives as well as the British Board of Film Classification to discuss how labelling can be made clearer.
Here are a couple of suggestions on how UK videogame labelling could be clarified:
Clearer labeling for games recieving an 18 certificate from the BBFC
Suggested new PEGI icon for games containing “Shocking Images”
