The Game Business Show

This week, we dive into the big conversation around the new European age rating rules, which mean games that feature loot boxes and mechanics that entice people to come back may be subjected to higher age ratings.
On the Show, we are joined by Dirk Bosmans, the director general of the European ratings body PEGI, and Ian Rice, the director general of the Games Rating Authority, to discuss the topic.
We also discuss the Nvidia controversy, GDC's numbers, Ubisoft's new hires and much more. Enjoy.
