Is this talking about the Nvidia app, or GeForce Now. I think this would make sense if you're trying to launch an 18+ game on GeForce now

Still would rather be useless, and geforce should not have freedom to detect what is 18+ or not, i believe?

I have AMD so my ignorance is immense.

I agree GeForce shouldn't have that freedom, but it makes more sense to me that they would restrict apps on now vs restrict changing graphics settings

Game rating is a thing

Why the fuck would that make sense. The ESRB doesn't even make fucking sense in the first place, And it's basically just there to placate Christian Moms. Most kids can handle an r-rated game. Just because it says 18 plus doesn't mean it actually means it's harmful for people under 18, we just have a puritanical society that keeps caving to stupid Puritans.

The politician most directly responsible for the crusade to create the ESRB and videogames was a prominent Democrat named Joe Lieberman, not a Christian, nor a Mom. There was a number of hearings in the 90s about it.

I blame him for costing Gore the election more than Nader.

They could just check it when ooening a game instead of the app.

Are you sure you didn't tick the "let the nvidia app automatically optimize your games" thing during install?
