| MDMAlliance said: However, I also disagree that M rated games get more sales for being RATED M in general. What makes up an M rated game, sure to some extent. However, if you could have that same content and have it somehow treated by retailers like an E rated game, the game will have a higher potential for sales. The guy I was referring to thinks that it's the other way around. edit: (Like for example a game that's rated for 17+ being treated like a game for 3+ by retailers, you wont have to place any restrictions on who's buying it or restrict what retailers would consider putting it on their shelves). |
And this is still a ridiculous discussion since the content is what declares a game's rating. You could argue that Dead Space would have sold more if it was rated E while retaining its M rated content, but such a scenario is absurd. Especially considering that the M rated content is what makes the game appealing.
