What other video games have been secretly eroding the very fabric of American society?

You do realise that PEGI stands for Pan European Game Information, right?

BmeBenji,

I think you might have missed that this question is sarcastic and the intent was to prompt stupid interpretations of video games. i.e. Mario Kart is communist because it only gives the lower class (losers) access to the deadliest weapon (the blue shell) in order to take out the upper class (the leader)

MudMan,

And the game itself was made by a Canadian, while we're at it.

MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown,

Then why is the acronym in American then. There ain’t no countries in the EU that speak American. /s

Why should we care what a talking horse pseudo-plinco game thinks should be the age rating of their competitors?

AwesomeLowlander,

Wut? Pan European Game Information (PEGI) is the European equivalent of ESRB. Their ratings matter because they have an obvious bias against indies, which hurts their sales.

randon31415,

I was jokingly referring to PEGGLE

AwesomeLowlander,

Ah. I’m guessing most people missed the joke :)

ViolentPacifist,

Yeah they should’ve gone with Hank Hill’s wife

intensely_human,

It’s a good question

noli,

That’s the fun part, you don’t have to care. The first and only step is to just keep scrolling—better luck next time.

If you’re looking for something inexpensive and aren’t picky about the size of the analog stick dead zones, the Logitech F310 might be a good fit. Its D-pad works well in my experience.

I would give proprietary software 18+ rating too, nobody know what’s inside.

If you haven’t, you should try Split Second. Racing game but with wild destructive world traps (you can trigger stuff like a commercial aircraft crashing into the track and stiff like that.

mEEGal,

yup I tried but only a demo

Hngh. Balatro already had a bunch of hassle on Switch eShop due to the PEGI ratings change.

Earlier, Nintendo somehow got a PEGI 12 rating for 51 Worldwide Games, which includes poker and blackjack. I wonder what they argued to avoid the 18 rating. “Sure, this compilation has poker and blackjack, but it’s not like we made it fun.” (It’s adequate but compared to Balatro it’s very much a non-frills experience.)

RixMixed,

I believe 51 Games came out right before the stricter PEGI policy. Same year at least. The whole thing is very silly.

“sure our game has gambling elements, but we’re Nintendo so shut the fuck up and give us a better rating because you’re a private company in the business of giving ratings”

Bosht,

Just right up front with the card pack gambling mechanic.

ArchRecord,

Gotta love how they saved the literal slot machine for a minute in to the video so it wouldn’t be too obvious.
