BBFC defends against PEGI supporters

The British Board of Film Classification is playing defense after accusations it won't be able to keep up with the tide of video games in the future. The BBFC's reaction came after a hearing where industry figures argued the self-regulated PEGI ratings were the best system.

Sue Clark, a representative for the BBFC, told GI.biz that the BBFC can cope with the work load and that the organization is entirely funded by the fees it charges to classify work. Therefore, the more work it needs to review, the more money comes in, and the more staff it can hire. She says the games industry doesn't know how the BBFC works, so they shouldn't talk. Whatever, let the BBFC stay, that way we get early warning about "implied child rape" and interstellar lesbianism in games.
