"obviously if it is a 7+ game you cannot see a player getting shot in the face with a kinematic rifle etc etc"


Maybe if the age rating agencies won't allow a menu option for Elite/Horizons CMDRs ("I'm okay seeing higher age-rated content - Y/N"), I wonder if an optional store add-on (50p/£1?) for it will satisfy said agencies as it's a separate purchase, for those CMDRs that cannot purchase Odyssey for whatever reason yet want to instance on planets with their Odyssey-owning friends?

Or buy Odyssey of course

This is also interesting as it means they can't ever roll-up Odyssey with the base game (as they did with Horizons). Or at least it would be dodgy as you would be saying "Hey kids - now you get this for free but you aren't allowed to play". Hmmm.

Its offical- FPS basking is PEGI 18!

Just remember, you aren't shooting actual pixel people in the face.

You are shooting lots of holo me's.

Does this mean we'll be allowed to swear on the Odyssey forum

The trailers for Odyssey on Steam say Pegi 16. So not quite 18. Unless that rating is the trailer

Edit: Steam page also shows the game being Pegi 16

IMO that's very wrong.
How much trouble would be trying to put ED to the same age rating as ED: Odyssey?

4m copies have already been sold at 7+ age rating, so likely a lot of legal trouble.

I imagine it's the only solution, can't disenfranchise all the previous base/horizons owners.

I think we need a Sphere of Safety™ for the younglings to compliment the Sphere of Combat™.

show boobies ... adult only

ratings are a joke in general.

 

[Mormo]

Actually how many people in age below 16 really playing the game?

At least two according to the recent problems with a certain slavery group

I reckon we will be able to use covid vault without it being censored the way this forum does. Looking forward to it!

The legally safest option would be to change the store listing to PEGI 16, and then wait nine years. After that they can introduce PEGI 16 content to the base game, because anyone who bought it at age 7 would be old enough by then.

Or, I guess, mess with instancing. :/
