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.

Oblivion's Harmful Boobs

[Khajiit Overlord Rainer]

Rainer is sick and tired of Jack's ramblings. He thinks he is on a crusade and all he is succeding in doing so far is getting the wrong attention.

But that Take2 was providing nude mod codes?! Did he even get any high School education?! Who in the world would think such an idiotic idea? They are not the developers, they were the publishers. Why should they take the heat?

Also, they claim it was worse than last year's "Hot coffee" incident. How is horrible repesntation of female anatiomy worse than outright adultery?


Jack will never learn, and it is people like him that the gaming industry suffers.

Rainer has played many violent games, and is he a psychotic murderer? No! Rainer is just a 15 year old boy who roleplays a khajiit on the forums and is a pacifist.

Jack should get his facts straight, and not from inside his head. Misinformation is worse than no information at all, and this is the absolute worst case of misinformation that Rainer has ever seen.

So Jack, smarten up, or may your gods be merciful. Because many others won't.

edit:in Rainer's Ranting he forgot about spelling
