Seems like that Diablo 3 rating will be 18+ and that is great news, sorry to say if you are < 18 find another game teen!
Update: This probaply only count for the Europe gamers, it should be rated “T” for teen and not “M” for mature like Diablo 1 & 2.
Jay was referring to the German USK rating of 18+. Which is a rating specific to Germany and games sold there.
In the US we have the ESRB, and other countries may have their own rating advisories and labels. For our ESRB rating and US release we have been and still are planning for a “M” for Mature rating.
How will you guaranteee that Diablo 3 will not be censored or rated 18+ in Germany?
Jay Wilson: The biggest thing is, that we are targeting not to be an 18+ game. If we were to get an 18+ rating, we would likely make some changes to the german edition, to make sure it would not get this rating. But we handle those things pretty far in advance. We are already talking about the rating and what qualifies as an 18+ rating in europe to make sure that we do not hit that level, because we definitely want to make sure that the game is sold here.
