Experiences that are M-rated, or 16+.

This could open up the possibility for a game that is too intense for T-rating, such as blood, intense violence, and swearing.

M-rated Experiences are locked behind ID requirement, you would have to supply your ID to be allowed access.

no

#

id could be stolen

Nah. We don't need this to be in Fortnite.
I think we should instead get more leeway for T-rated experiences.

This would just open up a whole can of worms that wouldn't be worth it.

#

eh we kinda do

#

horror games could be enhanced

#

i think the ID thing is a pretty good idea

#

the same way they're asking for your ID when you make a team? for uefn

Y’all say this is a good idea until people start to make naked Chun Li maps lol

sudden warren
#

well... thats why they'd require ur ID

#

without being approved u wont be able to play said maps

#

or even view them in discovery

#

its not that complicated

#

Why would you want that tho?

thats up to the parent to make sure it doesnt happen, not epic

#

😵‍💫

again

#

up to the parent, kids can access illegal/adult stuff on the internet as well

#

epic is not ur parent

#

or any company for that matter

#

just like artists arent responsible for children listening to explicit music

#

there's parental control as well

#

so once again, its up to the parents

#

epic has given the tools

earnest yoke
#

Why do you even want M rated experiences anyways?

earnest yoke
#

Epic is not gonna risk getting sued bc of bad parenting again

Pretty sure epic didn't get sued for this exact reason, they got sued for the way the item shop worked as the old version was falling under the 'trickery' category, because you didn't have to hold to purchase, as well as there being privacy concerns. Which is why they've changed a bunch of things, and implemented better tools/parental control/hold to purchase, etc etc.

Having 16+ or M rated islands doesn't necessarily mean suggestive themes/models etc. they could outright ban those for all I care. But there is a point where creativity and games are being limited with the current ratings. You can't have proper horror games because blood and really scary stuff aren't allowed.
You can't have realistic dialogues (strong language/words) between npcs or characters that would include swearing because that isn't allowed either.

#

Of course, that audience is prob not as big as the silly little modes, but there's still an audience for those games

#

And those games aren't allowed atm

My honest thoughts good and bad idea cuz 1. this is what people have been wanting for a long time a more mature version of the game as well as creative and uefn maps themed around violence and gunplay 2. Might not be good since epic could get a lawsuit or angry calls from parents.

if u want it make it in ue and publish on eg store

If they implement the right tools then hypothetically they cant get sued

#

As the tools to stop younger ppl from joining said islands were already there

#

I dont see why they'd get sued if

  1. players cant access without an ID that shows they're 18+
  2. Those maps dont show up until you've verified your ID
  3. Parental Control exists
#

What would they sue them for

Kids are smart too, they would find out multiple ways to change it

#

It would be nice to be able to create what we want, 18+ or not, but epic games is not gonna do it anytime soon as the risk is way too big
