I've seen many people in chat, myself included ask about the PEGI 7 rating etc. Yesterday I emailed Pegi.info and have just a couple of minutes ago received a reply from them. I'm posting this so it will hopefully make users understand more of why the game is PEGI 7 rated....
Dear XXXXX, [Name edited by me]
Recently we received your reaction via pegi.info. First of all, we would like to thank you for your interest in the PEGI system.
I’m sorry to hear the moderators are so strict, however these individuals have no connection with PEGI, nor are they enforcing any policy which is associated with PEGI. Unfortunately I can’t change the way they are acting. However, if a PEGI 7 game would contain the word “poo” or textual references to animal slaughter, the rating would not be raised.
Regarding the Online content descriptor, we can only warn for potential online threats, not protect youngsters. This is up to the parents and the moderators of a game. We cannot actively monitor all games that feature an online mode, nor do we want to this this. This would be a seemingly endless task.
The PEGI ratings are being composed with the use of an extensive questionnaire that deals with several topics, among which e.g. bad language, violence, and sex. Depending on the way these topics are represented in a game, a different age rating is the final result, accompanied by a certain content indicator.
I hope this information has been helpful. If you still have any questions after reading this e-mail, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
