Legal and Ethical

Ethical
Our game contains a high amount of graphic violence for this to be avoided to cause a legal stir we will be adding a high age rating on between 16 and 18. This will cause for a buy at own risk sort of thing so we can no longer be held accountable for stupid people who ignore age ratings, they are there for a reason.
Our game will be ridiculing different aspects of politics and the future state of the world as such we will need to be careful as to who we insult and what we say.
The game will contain strong language from the characters which may also include some stereotyping and racial slurs as a result of this the age rating will again need to be kept at around 16-18 and we will include warnings on the box and warnings before the game starts also the ability to disable it within the game.
Legal
The game will be using our own music, art and voices which should eliminate any copyright concerns along with this we will be making sure to not go into to many touchy subjects which may come across as offensive to a wider audience such as child slaughter, idealising terrorism, ect ect.
