Amethyst, that was one of my points as well earlier that there were at least T rated games in the large file adventure section.

Anyway, I'm playing the game now and I really don't consider it M. It's more of a T rating (if that). It's pretty on par with your average sitcom as far as conversation and situations.

One thing about the large adventure files that have this more "mature rating" is that there is no free hour demo. With the more casual games it seems that they are more "G" rated. Maybe a compromise is that this game could be offered with no free trial hour and a through explanation of the game? What about that BFG-Guy? think

I think BFG has already decided not to carry the game.

Not offering a demo was one of my suggestions earlier as well. I was curious as to whether parents would still find it objectionable if there was no demo available.

Yeah, I was just checking out the website for this game and from the warning there, it appears to be a game that doesn't sound like a game that BFG would be known for carrying. I know I wouldn't be interested in it from the warning, and I am not a fan of Sims type anyway.

Sorry didn't mean to copy your idea, I didn't see it earlier cry

No worries Koalanut! I was honestly just curious to hear feedback about it when I had posted. smile

Thank you BFG-Guy. Great Decision! That's why you are #1 in my Book!

What some of you might consider T rated, I might consider to be "R" or even "X" rated. Believe it all points back to how one was raised.

I'm thinking about writing a column about this thread in Pig-Min(http://www.pig-min.com), Korean Indie Game webzine.

But not sure it could be good to write about that, because I'm not sure every GB member who replied & BFG-Guy might agree with that.

Anyway... This thread is kinda 'Shocking' (for good side) for me. smile

mrkwang,

Might be best not do so. It is a good topic though.

Maybe you could do a general topic on the ESRB rating system.

There are a number of casual games listed under the Teen category that I'm sure many members here didn't even know (I didn't until I looked at it).

I just played it for 60 min and did not see anything R rated about it, PG maybe or T for teen perhaps. Then again, in 60 minutes I got fired twice and then couldn't beat Hugh to save my life, very frustrating game but also addicting, however I wouldn't pay $19.99 for it.

Since BFG won't be carrying it, I guess I won't get a chance to play it.
