Ok now this is sad, but it made me burst out laughing. This is an org that allows actual gambling with actual money on actual gambling machines in a sports game rated 3+, while having a cards minigame makes a game 17+ otherwise. These guys want to make sure a person is old enough to... Do what, exactly? It's titties, isn't it? They always only go after the titties.
"What sense does it make to forbid selling to a 13-year-old boy a magazine with an image of a nude woman, while protecting a sale to that 13-year-old of an interactive video game in which he actively, but virtually, binds and gags the woman, then tortures and kills her?”
Why would they ever need this? No. Absolutely not. The ERSB is solely for informational purposes regarding the age range suggested for the game. They should not be restricting access to games pre or post purchase.
Also, how extremely stupid for anyone with any kind of thyroid or hormone imbalance, let alone the actual effectiveness or more general in-betweens.
