6/19/2023 0 Comments Rate video gamesOn PC, a game does not need an ESRB score to be accepted onto a platform such as Steam consequently, most titles that could earn this rating have no reason to submit themselves for judgment if they plan to only come out digitally on PC. Updated Maby Mark Sammut: Adults Only games are rare because the rating is a death sentence on consoles. From Hatred to Leisure Suit Larry, let’s take a look at some of the few games that earned this most dubious of ratings. This highest ranking is given out only in rare, extreme cases Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo do not allow AO games on their platforms and their sale is heavily restricted. Interestingly, there’s a ranking above Mature (17+), dubbed Adults Only (18+). Needless to say, these sorts of titles and their violent content tend to be locked behind age ratings, determined by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board similarly to movies. Then there's Mortal Kombat and its grisly Fatalities, which didn't go down particularly well with some parties either. Doom, with its roster of ghastly demons, has been criticized for its violence since the franchise began. Controversy has always blighted the gaming industry.
