Failure of the ESRB
Cordova, TN; April 9, in the year of our Lord 2018--Family
Friendly Gaming, the industry leader in covering the family
friendly video games is sad to acknowledge the complete, total,
and utter failure of the ESRB. We are really sad that it has
reached this point. We hear from parents over and over again who
have been offended by failure after failure by the ESRB. They
don’t play the games, they don’t even review the digital
downloadable games, and they spend more time spewing propaganda
about how great they are. The ESRB has been rocked by scandal
after scandal. Each and every time they have refused to accept
responsibility for their mistakes. Instead they act like the
Emperor in The Emperor’s New Clothes. They have lost the faith
of families, parents, Christians, conservatives and more.
Family Friendly Gaming has tried over and over again to get the
ESRB to acknowledge their mistakes, accept responsibility, and
then fix their systemic areas of failure. Over and over again
the ESRB has stubbornly refused to improve. In fact they have
degenerated worse and worse as they years have progressed. We
are honestly tired of constantly pointing out their mistakes in
our reviews. We are sick of finding things the ESRB misses on a
routine basis. They should be paying us for this audit of their
extensive failures. What is the purpose of the ESRB if they
cannot get descriptors correct? What value does the ESRB
actually bring to the video game industry? What value are they
to families when they fail to report obvious content within
video games?
For too long too many media outlets have given the ESRB a pass.
They do not want the light of truth shined on the failures of
the ESRB. They do not want any other organization getting
involved with rating games. This corrupt wink-wink, nod-nod way
of giving out age ratings, and descriptors is a part of the
swamp of the video game industry that needs to be drained. Those
colluding on this should be held accountable as well. All fair
minded gaming media outlets should have stories on the failure
of the ESRB. There needs to be ground swelling support for the
cleanup of the ESRB. Do you support this? Do you support the
ESRB getting fixed and held accountable for their mistakes? Or
do you support the corruption?
I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
God bless,
