answer text <p>The Pegi age ratings and content advice on video games - and on associated marketing materials such as tv advertisements - help parents and guardians make informed choices about the products they purchase for children or allow them to access. We encourage those responsible for children to look carefully at the ratings and pictograms, on boxed products, on downloadable content, and also to consider using parental controls on gaming and mobile devices to manage access.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to work with industry and the age ratings bodies on further promotion of the Pegi age ratings and advice about safe gaming, including through initiatives such as AskAboutGames.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>The Pegi classification system for video games considers the potential for additional downloadable content to diverge from the age rating of the initial product. Under the terms of the certificates issued for games by the UK’s Games Rating Authority (GRA), where subsequent content offered for download is not appropriate to the Pegi rating issued, the new material must be notified to the GRA so they can review and award a new Pegi rating.</p><p>Video games publishers failing to comply face fines from Pegi of up to 500,000 Euros.</p><p> </p><p>In the last 12 months the GRA has received seven submissions of additional downloadable content from games publishers. They considered that none of these needed a higher Pegi rating than the original game.</p> more like this
