Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB)

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is an American self-regulatory organization that focuses on rating video games since 1994 where it was established by the Entertainment Software Association. Back in 1993, the video game company SEGA established the ratings board Videogame Ratings Council (VRC) where it was a response to the violence of the video games like Night Trap and Mortal Kombat but then it got folded and was replaced by the ESRB.
