2006-05-09 - ESRB rating change revisited Options

[stargelman]

You knew this would happen.

You just knew it would happen when you heard that Oblivion's rating was changed by the ESRB on the grounds that "the game contains hidden nudity".

You just knew he would get involved to spread FUD.

It is also clear that Take-Two corporately and its senior officers, including CEO Paul Eibeler, individually, must now be prosecuted criminally for the knowing distribution of "sexual material harmful to minors" which is a felony in most states and nationally. The undersigned intends to work toward that end immediately.

...

Its popular and newly released Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has now been re-rated "Mature" and recalled by the ESRB because Take-Two and its co-publisher have been caught embedding nude figures and scenes in the game which can be unlocked with a code provided by the developer. This is not a modification or "mod" of the game by gamers. It is an unlocking of content that was put there by Take-Two with the unlocking code provided by the developer!

Go read Jack Thompson's press release over at Games First.

Maybe have a good laugh. Or maybe frown and understand that this guy is a serious threat to the gaming industry and all happy gamers, because there's enough people in influental positions that don't know any better or try to make profit of this and support his agenda.

Now, you probably haven't seen what the fuss is all about. Can't have that.
