Sure there's a cost associated with the evaluation, but it helps to regulate what gets to people who shouldn't have certain games in their hands...i.e. children...Think of the children, Twesterm

I'm just curious, do you know anything about Apple and how it governs the App Store?

I understand that they have a thorough process over at Apple...I just don't think a company should be responsible for their own rating system...It just shouldn't work that way...that's why there is an ESRB to begin with.  I would much rather things go through a 3rd party committee myself.

I would really up on Apple's decision process before making a thread like this.

Note that I'm not praising their decision process, I'm just saying if you actually knew how they went about doing things instead of randomly making threads, well, you probably wouldn't make this thread in the first place.

Twesterm, I didn't just wake up today and go "I think i'll make an random thread to knock Apple's game evaluation process "

 

I have actually looked into it and it really does make sense that, if they're going to keep calling the thing a portable gaming competitor...that's just one of the steps to go through...If you don't agree me on that you're by all means entitled to your opinion on the matter, but all it is on mine and your side is...opinions.
