The Ethics Organization of Computer Software(EOCS) is an organization that rates PC games in Japan. It is primarily formed by members of the Japanese adult game industry, and aims to promote a sense of ethical responsibility with respect to the production, distribution, and use of computer software.
Among its activities are:
- Support bishoujo games
- Combat software priacy
- Scholarships for students interested in becoming software designers
- Recognize good retailers (segregating games of different ratings, etc)
EOCS's console games counterpart is the CERO.
[edit] Ratings
The EOCS has three levels of ratings for software:
- General: All ages.
- Restricted: Must be 15 or above.
- 18+: Must be 18 or above.
