M-Rated Game Sales Are On The Rise
This year saw an increase in the sale of M-rated games, which have risen 16 percent since 2009.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, M-rated video games made up 26 percent of the overall gaming market this year. This is a significant increase from previous years.
Looking back it does seem like a lot of the year’s biggest titles – Red Dead: Redemption, God of War III, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops, etc. – were all Mature rated titles. Is this a trend that will continue into next year, or did 2010 just have a larger number of quality M-rated titles than usual? It will be interesting to see what 2011 brings.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
