I am as skeptical about laws regulating video games as you seem to be, but laws about video game violence in the United States are hardly 'strict.' After all, the agency that rates video games, the ESRB, is run by the industry itself. And I am unaware of any legal obligation to take part in the ESRB.

Finally, the U.S. doesn't use PEGI ratings, a group of nine European nations do. But you are right in saying Poland has liberal laws — game publishers do not have to have their games rated by PEGI.
