Hello, thank you for doing this AMA.

I have very blunt questions that will need answers and some are probably an oversight.

  • Combat/PvP games are being rated Teen, but rated 16+ in Russia. The 16+ Rating exceeds Fortnite’s maximum. Do we assume that has to be wrong since they’re essentially the same mechanics as Battle Royale, which does not currently have the higher aged rating in Russia?

  • I have to assume combat maps are at least Teen rated due to refered violence?

  • If your game is rated E, with persistence, what’s stopping glitchers bringing weapons to non violent maps and handing them out, like we’ve seen in the past. This would break the E rating.

  • Because of that, are we to assume games cannot be E rated yet, otherwise there is a huge oversight here.

Thank you.
