Japanese Retailers Enforce Restrictions on 18-Rated Games
Categories: Child Sale Restrictions • Game Ratings • Retail Sales
The Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association, the Japanese counterpart to the ESRB, has announced a voluntary program to prevent the sale of games rated 18 to minors. The program is seen partially as a preemptive move to cancel possible governmental restrictions in the wake of Kanagawa prefecture’s labeling of Grand Theft Auto III as banned to minors under the legislature.
