"Its nationwide survey of over 1,300 parents showed that nearly nine in ten parents with children that play video games are satisfied with the ESRB rating system, three in four use it regularly, 94% find the ratings easy to understand, and 59% never let their children play Mature-rated games."
Ha, I knew it. I've been hearing so much garbage relating to the ESRB's "unreliable" rating system and what-not, and the whole time I've been finding trouble fully believing it. I mean, I AM aware that there are parents who still don't pay attention or care but... eh...
I hear so much complaining from younger kids whose parents will not let them get any game higher than a T rating (M or AO). Especially when I play free, online FPS games on the 'net. Sometimes I'll read things like that.
...I even remember the time Prince of Persia went from T to M (why Ubisoft, why?). I heard mild complaints from those who have parents who refuse to get M rated games for their children.
