"ESRB Notice: Game experience my change during online play" hehe, wtf?!

[jverne]

so at night there's more blood?!
it's written in the steam servers window!

 

[GuNzABlaZiN]

No.

People swearing, spraying porn onto walls, etc.

 

[Hazar]

I think that's generally directed at mmo's

It's also just something to get the responsibility off them.

 

[FISKER_Q]

It's described in the Steam FAQ. But basicly just a reminder to guardians and people that it might be more harsh online, since it's not controlled content(like singleplayer).

 

[Bing_Oh]

That's the standard disclaimer for MMORPG's. I'd assume that this is all about potential updates and such, considering there's been some discussion about add-ons over Steam.

UMMM yeah duh. Go play in a cs:s server. Can't contain the hi-res porn being sprayed.

 

[shark]

You'll see that on almost everygame that you play that has online abilities.

 

[Letters]

I don't know what you're saying about 'night'... but, yeah, there's no telling how people may act online.

 

[lans]

spraying porn onto walls

*runs to play some cs:s*

Am I the only person that this doesn't make sense to? At night? What are you talking about?


Not flaming, I'm just... I don't know. Anyway, Online, yeah, to get a better understanding you should look on Penny Arcade for "Gabe's Greater Online Gaming Thoery" which goes something like...

Internet Access + Anonymity + Headset = Complete ****tard

 

[Death.Trap]

Spraying porn onto walls? Are you serious...


Hmm...what have I been mission out on?!?!

 

[Dougy]

Every game with a MP component for the past EVER has had this slapped on the game at some point.

i even think EA games say it while you are loading the game...

something about BF1942 and seeing that regularly....

 

[Crash Happy]

What they should put is "Hell, if you can't monitor your kids why should we?".
It's standard disclaimer anyway used on lots of on-line games.

 

[smacky]

it is to guard our children !
i say **** the children, bring on the porn and the violence , this is what the internet is !

 

[Vinnie_NL]

Thats also in the disclaimer of BF1942 and C&C Generals, it has something to do with the patches I think, as they change the gameplay a bit.

 

[Solver]

This disclaimer especially applies to T rated games, where online experience can easily be M rated. However, I can barely understand who gives a damn about those ratings anyway. If I want a game, I know what that game is anyway and don't care about the rating, and I don't see why anyone should judge any game on rating either. This is so modern-American...
