I know that submission is voluntary but virtually all game manufacturers submit their product to the ESRB board, of course they have to have a product to submit.
Oh wait I figured it out, according to ESRB they review "Retail" products.....DnL is going to download only so "not" retial therefore I guess they figure they can dodge this also. ROFLMAO
To get a game certified with an ESRB rating, publishers fill out a detailed questionnaire explaining exactly what's in the game, and submit it to ESRB along with actual videotaped footage of the game, showing the most extreme content and an accurate representation of the context and product as a whole. Working independently, three trained raters then view the game footage and recommend the rating and content descriptors they believe are most appropriate. ESRB then compares the raters' recommendations to make sure that there's consensus. Usually, the raters agree and their recommendation becomes final. However, when the raters recommend different ratings, additional raters may be requested to review the game in order to reach broader consensus. Once consensus on a rating and content descriptors is reached, ESRB issues an official rating certificate to the game's publisher.
When the game is ready for release to the public, publishers send copies of the final product to the ESRB. The game packaging is reviewed to make sure the ratings are displayed in accordance with ESRB standards. Additionally, ESRB's in-house game experts randomly play the final games to verify that all the information provided during the rating process was accurate and complete.
I don't think they have anything to send to the ESRB
However according to the website, the ESRB thing is voluntary. Farlan might not even bother
no need for a rating as theres no connection to the united states. the servers arnt here. we dont DL it from us servers .. and since ESRB only applies to usa games or games with usa ties dark and light is exempt..
