The Entertainment Software Rating Board(ESRB) is a non-profit, self-regulatory body established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA). ESRB assigns computer and video game content ratings, enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines and helps ensure responsible online privacy practices for the interactive entertainment software industry.
The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age-appropriateness and content of computer and video games so that they can make informed purchase decisions about the games they deem suitable for their children and families.
Suggest age appropriateness for the game, and appear on the front of virtually every game box available for retail sale or rental in the United States and Canada. [分级标识]提示该游戏的年龄适宜性。出现在任何游戏的正面包装盒上，用于在美国和加拿大零售
