User blog comment:Cloverfield monster/Why does every single game coming out need to be rated M?/@comment-71.194.87.135-20130923225341/@comment-25496444-20130925214322

Adults is 18 and up. Don't ask me why M is only a year less. Although I think AO shouldn't be reserved only for games with sex and extreme violence and stuff, PEGI uses 18+ (which is practically AO but serves as the equivalent of M) for nearly every shooter game on the market, yet they sell very well. Some are rated 16+, but those are only the ones with slightly less violence and no offensive content (I bet MW2 and MW3 would have got 16+ were it not for No Russian and Davis Family Vacation).
