Polygon.com is reporting that the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) is in the process of making some small changes to how ratings will appear on games. The changes are nothing drastic, with a simple change in color scheme from white on black to black on white (pictured above). You can also see that the “content rated by” message has been removed and that the rating letters have been made larger.
