Now let's face it,the ESRB is horrible.They have way too much power.Why do you have to be 17 to buy M Rated game?!You'd think it would make sense at first,but wait;I started playing M Rated games when I was 15,and I'm just fine with it.Another thing is,if a company gets an AO rating,they have to sell in adult shop.WTF?!It's not like I would drive to a porn shop to buy Manhunt 2.

A group of DOUCHEBAGS that give games total overkill ratings. They make a "guideline" that retricts everything. FUCK ESRB they think that kids who are 12 can't handle cartoonish graphics violence (team fortress 2) They base the maturaty of an age group on a bunch of kids with an IQ of 60. GO DIE ESRB. They should be sued all at once by Rockstar, Valve, Bungie, Take 2, Activision, IGN. Hopefully they will file for banrupcy, then suicide. Then the world would be a better place when minors can play FUN games. Then ESRB would go to hell for avoiding game publishers to get money. FUCK ESRB
Me: Mum, can I buy Team Fortress 2?
Mum: No
Me; How come?
mum:because it is rated M
Me: but...
mum: ESRB SAID SO!!!!
Mum: No
Me; How come?
mum:because it is rated M
Me: but...
mum: ESRB SAID SO!!!!

the people that screwed everybody out of good video gaming. they think that every game is bad but really they had silicon and twizzlers implanted into their brains as children so no wonder they think every game destroys the minds of children. and the hell is up with minors not being able to buy mature games? ESRB totally sucks ass and should be destroyed immediately as they are the ones who jip innocent gaming companies like Rockstar games out of their well deserved money

A group of radical terrorists that want to restrict everything. Their brains are made of malic acid, and they can't do anything but rate games with totally outrageous ratings.

A self-regulatory organization within the video game industry that assigns age and content ratings to games even though there's never been a valid study in human history that links violent or sexual content in media to social deviancy.
Hey, maybe we should start a self-regulatory organization like the ESRB within the ladder industry to assess the likelihood of people walking under them.

An organization that is meant to help parents that want to know what their kids playing. However, too many Jesus-fish SUV driving Soccer Moms tink that it needs to be extremely restricting, and that it should be used in abscence of the parents actually sitting down and playing the game for 10 minutes, which would give them a better idea of what to expect, then any ESRB rating ever could.
ESRB ratings are helpful, but should always should be used to assist a buying decision for parents, not decide one.

The esrb is a group of people who strike terror into the hearts of gamers. they prevent people are under 17, to play 17+ games that also people who are 17+ have no interest in. they believe that your maturity level is judged by how many days you lived, not by your intellect.
esrb must be stopped now
with your help we can.
