Man, I donāt have kids (that I know of) and Iām dawwwwwing all over this PSA that the ESRB just put out. Itās a reminder that it can be hard to say no when your kidās so excited for Ninja Attack!, or whatever theyāre clutching, and you want him or her to be happy. But itās important to read the ratings and use parental controls.
This spotās so cool, Vice President Biden retweeted it out like, 12 hours before anybody knew it existed.
Good on the veep; Iām sure the ESA and publishers are happy to have his stamp of approval, too. And yeah, check the ESRB Rating on every game. It helps parents and it helps kids. And, frankly, it helps those who make the games we enjoy, whether theyāre rated E, T or M.
