While this is something that Miklös would normally pick up, its something that irks me enough that I feel this is a great step forward to enforcing the way mature games are sold to underage players. The current rating system (the BBFC) has, for years, never been enforceable because of government legislation in the UK and because it was competing with the PEGI system for relevancy.

Many proponents that supported the adoption of the PEGI rating pointed out that the BBFC was a little less strict and would often hand down lower ratings for mature games because the reviewers panel didn't think it deserved a higher rating. While having a bit of leniency to how a game, film or other video content is rated is a good thing for certain titles, in the case of underage minors being exposed to the content it raises a question of who's responsible for them getting it in the first place.
