ESRB To Allow Developer Embargoes

gamingverdict | June 20, 2008 | News | Company 
The ESRB are going to let developers specify a date when game information can be released, so as not to interfere with their marketing plans by revealing details on the ESRB site too early.
The ESRB, responsible for the approval and age-rating of video games, have announced a new agreement with publishers to allow the specifying of dates when information about the release may be published on the ESRB website.

    That's a pretty good idea for developers who want to keep a tight lid on their projects. A lot of leaks about titles come from the ESRB website.
