The strong support that the ESRB ratings have enjoyed from retailers is crucial, underscoring their firm commitment to selling video games responsibly.” - Patricia Vance, president of the Entertainment Software Rating Board

Movie theaters, at-home video distribution (DVD/Blu-Ray/VHS) content and music have been around much longer, yet they all fail to meet the high standards that retailers take to protect minors from adult content.
