This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for banning specific games. That's the responsibility of the Video Standards Council, which is responsible in the UK for implementing the PEGI age rating system which is used in over 30 countries throughout Europe.
