Divide on games industry ratings
A row has broken out between the games industry and the UK’s content classifiers over who should regulate video games in the future.
UK games industry body Elspa has called on the government to replace the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) role’s in assessing video games. The industry favours its own voluntary system, called Pegi.
The BBFC’s Peter Johnson said Pegi was a “box ticking exercise” based on “no consultation with parents”.
The two systems have different approaches to classification. The BBFC system is enforced by law and based around the symbols used to classify films, while Pegi is a voluntary code.
