Comment on Why do unannounced games keep “leaking” through Korea’s rating site? It turns out there’s a legal issue that makes it almost impossible to avoid

  If you think you’re on the borderline between the local equivalents of M and T, and are willing to revise your content to get a more marketable rating, maybe you submit early? I know that’s a thing for movies in the US, as PG-13 movies can attract a broader audience than R. If the ratings board isn’t looking at the final product, though, can they rate it correctly?

    Censoring certain content based on country is super common in video games, so early submission may give more time to appeal or censor stuff to meet their desired rating. Or just market to a different rating if they’d prefer.
