ELSPA has released details of the key findings submitted to the government following the Byron Review consultancy period.

It claims that ratings rival, the British Board of Film Classification, downgraded 22 adult titles already given an 18 rating by PEGI.

"The BBFCs downgrading of games opens up the potential of unnecessary risk for UK children and teenagers when playing games against other non-UK players online," said ELSPA.
