Yes. Your software could have to be rated like films in certain countries. How? Using institutions like International Age Rating Coallition (IARC):
https://www.globalratings.com/about.aspx: "A ground-breaking global rating and age classification system for digitally delivered games and apps that reflects the unique cultural differences among nations and regions."
For developers (Source: https://www.globalratings.com/for-developers.aspx):
"How developers can get their games and apps rated with IARC?
IARC allows developers to obtain ratings for multiple territories and storefronts at once via a single streamlined system. The system is available to any developer that is distributing their game or app through a participating digital storefront.
How much does it cost to use IARC?
Obtaining ratings via IARC is free of cost to developers.
How long does the IARC rating process take?
The IARC rating process is designed to be as quick and easy as possible. Once a developer completes the questionnaire, the ratings are issued immediately. The questionnaire is programmed with unique algorithms that assign ratings for each of the participating rating authorities which reflect their own distinct local standards about the age appropriateness of various content featured in the app. The length of time it takes to complete the questionnaire depends on how much ratings-pertinent content is in the game or app. For a game or app that contains very little pertinent content the questionnaire can be finished in a few minutes. If a game or app has more content - like violence, profanity, sexual content, nudity, gambling or other pertinent material - the questionnaire may take a few more minutes to complete.
Why can I only use IARC for products that are distributed by digital means?
In order to handle the high volume of digital games and apps, IARC utilizes an automated process which assigns ratings instantly without rating authorities' review of the product prior to its release. As a result, certain rating assignments may require post-release modification, which is far easier to accomplish in a digital environment than it would be with physical product sold in packages. Adjusting rating assignments after a boxed product has hit store shelves is a complicated and expensive proposition, which is why an automated rating process like IARC is only being deployed for digitally delivered product.
What do I do if the rating my product has been assigned seems incorrect?
Developers can request a rating check for any of the ratings their game or app has been assigned by the IARC system. Developers will have to include a brief explanation of why the rating should be different and may be asked to provide supporting evidence – such as video clips or a build of the game or app – so that the rating check request can be evaluated by the rating authority(s) in question.
Who makes up IARC and how are the rating criteria decided?
IARC is composed of representatives from numerous ratings authorities around the world, each of which plays a role in developing the questionnaire and programming the logic in the rating tool that developers complete when obtaining a rating. That logic is based on the distinct content standards used by each rating authority, and the system generates a unique rating for each territory based on those localized standards.
How can I get my game or app rated using IARC?
Developers can only access the IARC system when submitting their game or app to any of the system's participating storefronts.
