What’s Up With The Marketing Team Guys?

I saw a pop quiz when I opened up my game and the interesting questions about having public woohoo, getting sexy tickled etc. seems a bit unsettling for a game rated 12+
Why not make the age rate higher?

    I get where you're coming from @Furkean , but public woohoo for example is very much a part of the game and easy to stumble across accidentally ingame. Those questions are no more extreme than the game itself.


    Well that’s where the question arises, why is a public fetish is accessible in a game anywhere they may click for a game rated +12? Could there be not an option for parents so that could be reserved for private spaces like bedrooms?

    I mean thinking kids don't know about woohoo being a thing by the age of 12 is already bit of a reach given internet, radio, tv, books etc.

    (really just turn on tv anytime there be woohoo island commercials or something)

    and if they don't know how would they ever know woohoo in quiz doesn't mean shouting "Woohoo!"

    but yeah i would probably add none option to woohoo spot question since its tad odd there isn't one


    I see. Still I don’t know how lack of safeguarding on internet or around kids should mean games rated 12+ should allow that to them “since they already learn outside”

    Tickling your fancy is a tame US English term for “what are you into”…there’s nothing unsettling about it.

    The “where to whoo hoo” part…well…12+ know about the birds and the bees…SO…?‍♀️


    Nice reach but “being into” sexy tickling and having public woohoo being an ideal spot for it is pretty different from birds and the bees. One is a fetish the other is dumbdown version of how babies are made. Neither seems appropriate for a game 12+


    This entire conversation is a reach.


    Take that to the parents with the quiz and let them decide how much of a reach it is, I would say to you.
