The ESRB is 3 years younger than I am | Kaser Focus

The Entertainment Software Ratings Board this week decided to celebrate its 30th anniversary — and this is how I find out that I’m older than the organization that tells me what games are appropriate for my age. I’m not sure how that piece of trivia slipped the cracks of my mind, but that’s a heck of a way to feel my age, lemme tell ya. Not to mention the ESRB rubbed salt in the wound by releasing a song to commemorate the occasion that is, if I’m honest, kind of a banger.

It’s been an odd week — we go from Valve officially acknowledging Deadlock, its open secret of a game, to the closure of Blue Protocol before most of us got the chance to play it. Remedy revealed it plans to collaborate with Annapurna on not only Control 2 but also the expansion of its universe’s lore into the realm of TV and movies. I wish them luck — I was rather skeptical when they tried a similar experiment with Quantum Break.
