“The gaming industry is committed to an online game-rating system to help protect minors from unsuitable content in the context of online gaming and to educate parents to help ensure safe online play for minors. With regards to harassment or abuse of any kind between players, EA is committed to ensuring that offenders, when reported, are dealt with swiftly and firmly.”
