What if when visiting a page with a specific age rating one of the following would happen:
- If the game's age rating is at or below the person's age (if they should be able to view it) they will gain access to the page just fine.
- If the game's age rating is above the person's age, but the page is not rated as 18+ (the person is too young and the game does NOT have adult content) then the user will receive a message that the content isn't suited for them, however they are ALLOWED (not shown right away, they must click a button) to view the page
- If the game's age rating is 18+ AND the user is 18
- If the user has adult content toggled on in their settings, they can view the content
- If the user does not have adult content toggles on in their settings, they will receive a message that says the page contains adult content, and will be directed to their Settings and Preferences page.
- If the game's age rating is 18+ but the user is below 18
- The user will not be able to view the page, and an error message saying their access to the page is denied.
For publishers and developers, they will be required to complete a short multiple choice quiz that will determine age results based on the following:
- Drug usage
- None (0)
- Mild (2)
- Moderate (4)
- Intense (5)
- Explicit Sexual content
- None (0)
- Moderate (15)
- Graphical Violence
- None (0)
- Mild (2)
- Moderate (3)
- Intense (4)
- Fantasy/Cartoon Violence
- None (0)
- Mild (1)
- Moderate (2)
- Explicit language
- None (0)
- Mild (2)
- Moderate (3)
0-1 = Everyone
2-7 = Ages 13 and up
8-14 = Ages 16 and up
15+ = Ages 18 and up
For simplicity, however, all values and scores would be hidden.
