The game could have a lot more serious themes without breaching the PEGI rating. I believe the rating they have can deal with most things including mental health problems, drug addiction etc. The things banned would be explicit and graphic woohoo, non-consensual woohoo, and extreme gory violence. It was an EA policy to keep this particular game reasonably light-hearted, not a ratings law. But I wonder if more gloomy or malevolent themes could come in an EP, which people who like a light hearted game can simply decide not to buy.
