Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Why do unannounced games keep “leaking” through Korea’s rating site? It turns out there’s a legal issue that makes it almost impossible to avoid (automaton-media.com)

Apparently, the rating body is only able to accommodate game publishers’ confidentiality requests while submitted games are undergoing review. The moment a decision is reached (whether it be an approved rating or rejection), the GRAC is legally obligated, without exception, to make it public through its official website and the digital government gazette.

Why are games being submitted for ratings before they've even been announced? I thought that was something that happened very late in the process...

If you think you’re on the borderline between the local equivalents of M and T, and are willing to revise your content to get a more marketable rating, maybe you submit early? I know that’s a thing for movies in the US, as PG-13 movies can attract a broader audience than R. If the ratings board isn’t looking at the final product, though, can they rate it correctly?

Censoring certain content based on country is super common in video games, so early submission may give more time to appeal or censor stuff to meet their desired rating. Or just market to a different rating if they'd prefer.

They could avoid it, if they released the games at a later time than the rest of the world. But I do not think that its worth it.
