If you were running a game store, what would you do to orient the age restrictions there?

By game-store I mean platforms or websites where you can download video games. These include Steam, the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop and App Store. In most of these platforms, there are age restrictions, which means that you can only download a video game there if, according to the date of birth you entered for creating your account, you have the age rating or higher. For example, if a game is over 12, you can only download it there if you are 12 or older. The operators of such platforms are based on the age restriction of a game on their platform usually either the USK age rating or the Pegi age recommendation. Although the USK age ratings and Pegi age recommendations often indicate the same age, for example, GTA V, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, and Aliens: Colonial Marines are both USK and Pegi from 18, but USK and Pegi are nearly as likely to age differently For example, Battlefield 1, Far Cry Primal and Rise of The Tomb Raider are all USKs from 16 and Pegi from 18s.

My question to you, if you were to run a game store, what would you do for the age restriction, Pegi or USK, or something else?

That's a very interesting question.

I think I would first look at the Wikipedia page and then possibly orient me to other shops.

I would at registration all those under 18 round up to 18 …

In particular, such a shop owner should be guided by the legal situation!

I would release the shop according to DSGVO 16 and you have to confirm his age.

Age confirmation is garbage, as you can say at the age of 12 that you are over 16.

Not with a person.
