Microsoft: Byron regulations may make games more expensive in UK

Yes, getting games to go through another ratings board will take more time and more money. This may not be too expensive to larger developers, but imagine small developers getting games through multiple boards, each costing tens of thousands of dollars.

This whole thing is asinine. Each of the new consoles have age restrictions built into the system. The final say for who plays what should be up to the adults who play the games and the adults who are the guardians of the children, and not the government who couldn't care less about the children, but only make a stink to draw attention away from the job that they aren't doing in the first place.

the best solution would be for the BBFC and PEGI to work out some common guidelines for content descriptors and ratings so the parents, not the government would have a better idea of what to let their children play.

Lol. Every negative article on England you come out with that nugget. Makes you feel good: the repetition.

The thing is, they won't. Oh sure, we'll complain about it and kick up a fuss, but we won't actually _do_ anything about it. As usual, us good natured English folk will bend over and take it up the ass.

It's why I'm moving to Canada.
