To what extent is the regulation of the videogame industry effective? Make reference  to the Assassin's Creed franchise.

regulation, PEGI, videogames, Livingstone and Hunt, BBFC, digital convergence

When regulating the videogame industry, the videogame industry needs to follow a set of rules and legal guidelines when setting an age rating, in which the audience decides whether it is appropriate for them or someone else, this is usually set by mostly PEGI. Regulation is effective in providing warning labels of what the videogame contains, however, I will argue that it is largely ineffective due to advancements in technology that games are now available digitally with easy access, making the videogame industry regulations not very effective. I will be using the Assassin's Creed franchise as an example as they also fall into having regulatory issues of an audience of young impressionable players and the videogames in the franchise having an age rating of 18+.
