You can't officially license an Adults Only game on most (all?) consoles, and even allowing that finding a publisher or a place to sell your X rated games would be difficult. Major retailers don't want to be known for selling those kinds of games.
- DanBC 8y ago> You can't officially license an Adults Only game on most (all?) consoles There are a bunch of PEGI 18 games on consoles. Call of Duty World War II, Farcry 5, Fallout 4, GTA5, etc etc - all of these are PEGI 18 and licensed for consoles.
- esrauch 8y agoThose are all M in the ESRB rating though (not AO). Despite the parallel in AO and PEGI18, they aren't really the perceived the same in the respective markets.
- TranquilMarmot 8y agoBest case study for this difference is the "Hot Coffee" mod for GTA: San Andreas. There was originally a very adult minigame in it but it was disabled; the "mod" simply enabled it. This caused so much controversy the game was re-rated AO by the ESRB and consequently pulled from store shelves until they re-released a patched version with the minigame removed completely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod
