- dylan604 4y agoThey don't ban sale of videogames/movies based on age rating mechanism, they restrict the sales. These words are not the same and not to be used interchangeably.
- TheHappyOddish 4y agoAnd it had taken many decades to produce a workable system within this medium. With the speed of government vs the speed of development in the private sector, a temporary ban whilst they get their ducks in a row seems wise.
- flangola7 4y agoGovernment isn't involved in that. Game and movie ratings are completely private industry practices. Your selection of distribution channels will be reduced if you don't go through the ratings process, but the government won't stop you.
- yladiz 4y agoFor the US, yes, but some countries are more strict and do require some rating before a game is able to be legally sold, for example in Austria and France.
