"The Pan-European Game Information age-ratings body, better known as PEGI, which determines the age-ratings for games everywhere in Europe apart from Germany, is about to make arguably the most significant update in its history.
Four new categories are being added to the age-rating criteria which will attempt to tackle elements of addictive design in games, unmonitored online communication, and paid content in a game including systems like loot boxes.
The result of these changes will mean that a game like EA Sports FC, which is routinely awarded a PEGI 3 rating, will now likely be age-rated PEGI 16."
