The ESRB has given Destructive Creations' Hatred an Adults Only rating. The Adults Rating is almost a death sentence for a game, because Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony do not allow those games on their consoles. Also a lot of retailers will not sell the games. However, there is no policy on Adults Only games on Steam.
"Based on the content depicted in Hatred and the overall context of the game, ESRB assigned an AO (Adults Only) rating with content descriptors that include Intense Violence, Blood and Gore, and Strong Language," an ESRB representative told GamesIndustry.
