Windows Store changes guidelines to allow Mature and PEGI 18 games



A couple of weeks ago analysis from tech blogger Casey Muratori revealed restrictions in the Windows Store’s certification requirements that would exclude Mature games from the Windows 8 storefront. The US ESRB Mature rating overlaps with Europe’s PEGI 18 rating. As a result, major releases like Dishonored and Skyrim would be excluded from the shop in the EU.
Gizmodo report that Microsoft have decided to change the policy to allow for the inclusion of ESRB “Mature” and PEGI 18 rated games. Hooray!
