Rating Systems for Software and Websites Rating systems to allow parental oversight over their children's access to games and websites have become a hot issue for the industry and governments worldwide. The RSAC content labelling system was developed in a cooperative effort of the entire computer-game industry, with participation by SPA, CGDA, ASP, STAR, ESC, and many others. RSAC ratings describe the nature and degree of violence, nudity and sexual content, and offensive language in a computer game or educational program, in order to allow informed consumers to make purchasing decisions based on their own personal values. The RSAC rating system has been extended for use in rating internet websites.
Ratings are free, and rated sites are likely to be accessible to a wider audience.
