A glaring oversight in and of itself. If you're going to have interoperability between mobile and console games, the ratings agencies should have jurisdiction across the spectrum.

The ESRB is a voluntary organization. They have jurisdiction over whoever volunteers to let them rate their games.

The ESRB is already a cancer, why would we want it to spread?

Why? ESRB is what protected the gaming industry from a heavy hand of regulation. Seems more like a win.
