This petition would be to stop the ESRB. The ESRB are the orginization that gives games ratings such as mature, teen, etc... They delay games from coming out when reviewing them and most of the time, their ratings logic is faulting. Please sign the petition.

I signed it.

I agree with disbanning the ESRB, or at least making them give appropriate ratings, because I've seen many games that were rated T when they hsould obviously be rated E. I'm starting to think it's just computer generated stuff.

Take this into consideration. Smash TV was released in the 80's and wasnt rated. Now its rated teen. However, the old Mortal Kombat games that were released just 10 years ago which were originally rated mature, now they are rated teen. Further proof the ESRB has no idea what they are talking about. Could you make this a sticky deat? I'll love you forever

Yeah like they gave Harvest moon a "Black" E for OMG HE DRINKS ALCOHOL.

And starfox adventures was rated "T" for teen. I saw no good reason for that game to be rated T, there wasn't even any blood. Oh. He blinks red. WOW.

Signed.

edit: but you know this is never going anywhere...

Yeah, online petitions never work. I just wanted to get a bunch of signatures, however, I'm too lazy to go out and spread the word of the petition, I'm sure it would have a lot more signatures if I did. Word of mouth always works however...

Have you tried going to http://gamefaqs.com ? I'm sure there are other gamers that feel the same way there, I don't know if they'll let you post it. But its a very active site so what have you got to lose.

The moderators there are really losers, not because they closed my thread, I don't really care. But they go around closing every thread and insulting the people that post, they think they are really that great because they can have control over someone over the internet.

I've never been to Gamewinners forums. Gamefaqs forums are not so bad depending where you go. Certain forums on there are just plain dumb.

Since a lot of people have been coming to the site because of good tutorials, I hope they check this out and sign the petition, as it would be a great help to me.

Hey, this is a good idea. Although, it's kind of unlikely that it will get major attention. Well, we could always try.
I signed it, and I'll be spreading the word. I'll post about it at my gaming forums, and post it at a few more.
Good luck.

Thank you very much. I doubted it would get attention, but I could try to get the word out more. The petition isn't ever going to do anything, I just want to send the link to the ESRB if it gets a lot of signatures.

I signed it.

I think its rediculas as to what they give some of the games as a rating. i played a "teen" game and a "mature" game and sometimes i think they rate them backwards!
