FiveM Faction Age Restriction

[M]

I recently was declined from joining the Los Santos Police for being under 18. I asked how-come the age limit is aged 18, and I had the response that it was due to the PEGI rating of Grand Theft Auto being 18. Is this still a matter of safe-guarding, one of the original reasons the age limit was imposed on Arma. I am assuming because ArmA is rated PEGI 16 that is where the number came from.

I'd like to know management's thought process on the matter. Is it to stay on the super-safe side of legal challenges or is this purely an ethical decision?

As I see no reason against it considering RPUK are effectively offering external software and server access. Theoretically myself and my parents have already agreed to Rockstar & FiveM terms of service. And the accessible in-game content is fairly similar to Altis. Or am I wrong about this?

I personally see no reason why the difference in age restrictions are in-place, as the threat is still the same level on Altis Factions and GTA Factions, or both. 

I'm not trying to start a big debate over this. We've had enough of them, but I'd just like some insight for specifically the GTA server.

This question has been answered on multiple other topics before, the decision was made back in 2017 based on a multitude of factors including situations / problems that had arisen at that time so the easiest option was to enforce the game's age restriction

Members of the Altis factions that were under the limit were allowed to stay, which was quite generous given the circumstances

Thank you for the quick response! I guess I'll have to wait a year and a bit quickly!

I read up on those related conversations and publications, and was just wondering the thought process into deciding the different age limit for the FiveM server. Maybe someone else will argue the case for lowering it in the future, but that's not what I'm here for.
