As game developers, as is the case in any medium, we wish to bring our products to as many people as possible. At the same time, we have to make sure that our games abide to certain ethical standards and rules.<\/p>\n

Therefore, be sure to check the content of your games against the cultural rules of all the regions they are\u00a0being distributed to. What might be regarded as inoffensive locally could be offensive in other parts of the world. Compliance with age ratings helps you to contribute to the protection of minors. Parents are guided when recommending games to likeminded parents and buying your games for their children. Your games are more likely to gain visibility, positive publicity and a better reputation.<\/p>\n

The SGDA, following the standard of the\u00a0SIEA (Swiss Interactive Entertainment Association)<\/span><\/a>, recommends to use the\u00a0PEGI (Pan European Game Information)<\/a>\u00a0rating, a\u00a0coherent label and well known among parents.<\/span><\/p>\n
