ESRB M is not adult. It’s for minors. It’s SEVENTEEN+ as in YOUR A CHILD SEVENTEEN >> AND << ABOVE.

ESRBs ONLY adult rating is AO. ADULT ONLY. That’s why M IS MATURE. NOT ADULT.

I looked it up and you are correct about the ratings but I would imagine the downvotes are because of your second sentence - ESRB M doesn’t exactly mean the game is for minors in the same way that AO is only for adults

Glossed over after someone was shouting about my “A Child.” I think it’s an honor roll student thing but I wandered off.
