Who decides game age ratings?
In the UK, the Video Standards Council (VSC) applies PEGI ratings to physical games, which are legally binding. This means retailers cannot sell GTA 6 to underage customers. Digital-only games, however, are not legally required to carry these ratings, leading to different enforcement challenges for platforms.
