I know I'm not the only one who chuckled at the fact that it's rated "E for Everyone". Honest question: aren't ESRB ratings contractually loaned from the ESRB

I know I'm not the only one who chuckled at the fact that it's rated "E for Everyone".
Honest question: aren't ESRB ratings contractually loaned from the ESRB entity itself? The fact that one is displayed here seems to indicate the ESRB legitimately reviewed and rated the Windows terminal. Or does it grant a license to Microsoft to set the ESRB value as it sees fit?
- bin0 7y agoInteresting point. Kotaku got a nastygram over it a while back: http://web.archive.org/web/20090409100222/https://kotaku.com/gaming/legal/esa-threatens-kotaku-213676.php http://web.archive.org/web/20090409100222/https://kotaku.com... I'm guessing you could reasonably argue genericide at this point, but I doubt they'll go after microsoft. Update: did some more homework; esrb has started doing this in many places: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Rating_Board#Expansion_and_recent_developments https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entertainment_Software_Rating_...
