ELSPA(Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association): ELSPA was founded in 1989 by game publishers in the UK. It was one of the first and strongest trades over europe. ELSPA has 40 companies as memberships.
PEGI(Pan European Game Information): ELSPA turned into PEGI in 2003. PEGI sorts out the age ratings for games online and offline. The age ratings are 3,7,12,16 and 18. PEGI also sorts out the content each game has. PEGI is used in over 28 countries
There are two main things that makes a game come on the market and these are:
Publishers help out with the finance , sort out the packaging for the games and design the packaging and marketing
Developers make the games and test them out and decide what the game will actually look like
