Rating issues

In the base game, there are discussions about the use of illegal drugs in the past as a way of boosting creativity during game production.

Also in the base game, there is also use of partially disguised strong language (‘f**k’), as well as milder bad language, such as ‘shit’.

Other issues

Again in the base game, interviewees refer to a game in which the player’s character, a child, must avoid paedophiles. There are also discriminatory references during interviews, including verbal references to outdated stereotyping, such as a person using make-up to play a different ethnicity.

Many of the games in the collection feature mild violence, including one fighting game that features small blood effects and human characters falling to the ground when their health bar is depleted.
