So, you're also American.

And I don't fucking want the American government involved either. Or the Chinese government. I don't even want industry jannies like the esrb ibvolved.

this sort of thing is not gonna be wildly unusual in a number of countries in Europe in other forms of media. That is, it'd be a little odd if this wasn't specifically done with video games, by the norms there.

So? It's still shit when they do it elsewhere too, but this is a thread about video games. "the government already fucks up other industries already" is possibly the absolute worst possible argument for doing something.

You will be very surprised to know just how much the US gets involved in video games already.

I'm aware. Doesn't mean I like it, or that it excuses making things worse
