Wanglicious 05/05/12 11:47:00 PM #16:	...though it's rather bothersome that some of you actually thought that the esrb has any legal authority. those ratings aren't some sort of government entity makes or has anything to do with. though it's more troublesome that you'd consider thinking that M = AO because they aren't the same. M is a suggested age of 17, just like rated R is, but it is not a hard number or limit. AO = hard number. AO also is adults, M can include minors (and does within its age recommendation). there really isn't gonna be a company policy that tries to force M as 18 unless they want to come under attack. <_<; -- The King Wang.
