The European rating system PEGI has criteria, according to which games are assigned this or that assessment. Hanging a dick “only for adults” specialists force gross violence, drug romanticization, and so on. Gambling also got into this list.
The author of the ASKABOUTGAMES portal reported his find Andy Robinson (Andy Robinson). As it turned out, updated rules for assigning assessments have been operating since 2020. If the game finds the opportunity to sit down for a one -armed bandit or join the party in Blackjack, then children under eighteen will be closed.
According to the representative of the commission, the altered policy concerns only new products. Reprinted games, which previously issued a lower age rating, will not have to be evaluated again. For example, if any of the old games Pokémon They will release again, and there was always a slot machine in it, the project will retain its previous assessment.
When we changed the criteria in the first half of 2020, we made a conscious decision that the innovation would not have retroactive force. We wanted to avoid a situation where in one store there is a game for different consoles, but with a different rating.
Adjusting organs around the world began to pay attention to Gambling and the mechanics similar to it (for example, Lutboxes) found in minors. And British scientists came to the conclusion that the use of Lutboxes by children will sooner or later lead to problems with gambling entertainment.

EA planning to release games puzzles and games coloring with casino elements for children 6+
And I was already delighted, I thought that the lutboxes took up … Ugh you.
So, stop, this refers to https://bingostreetcasino.co.uk/ all gambling inside the computer games (such as the same poker in Far Cry 3 or Watch Dogs), or all sorts of paid lobboxes with implicit contents (which, in fact, are roulette)? If the first, then a little stupid, if the second, then I fully support.
In my opinion, according to the wording, it is clearly clear that it is the first option.
So I agree that because of the presence of just a casino in the game (where the game currency can be obtained only by playing the game) to put a rating of 18+ is a severe moronism. But read the article to the end

Developers Dragon Quest: Ace in the sense
It would be an incredibly correct decision to give games with lutboxes 18 plus.
Well, well, Fallout New Vegas does not threaten anything and the kids will be able to familiarize themselves with Blackjack and Caravan .
If the game finds the opportunity to sit down for a one -armed bandit or join the party in Blackjack, then children under eighteen will be closed.
According to this logic, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 of 1992 (and not only this part) should have +18 rating only because of the presence of Casino Night Zone in them and a slot machine with rings.
Marazm was stronger. It would be better if they fought with donated garbage dumps, where there is +0 age rating, and inside the “eb *** mouth of this casino” in which you will lose time and money anyway.
They already have the maximum rating, you don’t have to worry here. I do not think that the developers of games with a rating below 18 will generally add gambling to their projects.
Well, that’s all, now only adults can twist the roulette in the moxy bar. But this is a solitary game, which is even impossible to bother and the random mechanics is the main one when mining.
Well, now apparently there will be no (on the other hand, in our time the age qualification does not affect the players at all. When buying a game through online stores, they don’t ask age. And modern parents (who have children from 2010+) in general know well about games. So with the purchase of a new game about Sonic or Mario, they should not have problems.
And I thought we had an idiotic age rating. But Lutboxiki is normal. Brilliant. At the level of the RKN, well, wait a minute rating 18+ for a cigarette)
The right decision. Lutboxes would still be equated with the casino, it would be then wonderful
And Goshin is a heart attack with his prayers on the lut
The fact that this rule will not work for old games does not touch its stupidity in any way.
I will continue in my example. So this is now it, in none of the new games about Sonic will neither rolls with rings, nor levels somehow connected with the casino?
Like The ascent received the highest rating not because of murders and other things, but because there are one-armed bandits in a pair of bars in which you can throw blood and then earned denyuzhka?
