No, Luvian. Our court system determined it was uncostitutional to censor these games.

The rating system is a means of regulation and was not done voluntarily. The companies finally decided to implement the rating system only when threatened with stiffer regulations imposed and enforced by the government. By creating the rating system, the industry was able to give the appearance of self-regulating while still mass producing games with questionable content.
