Hot Coffee scene in GTA: San Andreas causes rating change
How does all the violence in Grand Theft Auto only deserve a Mature rating, when a hidden sex scene that sounds like it is not at all realistic and that you can’t actually see any naughty bits leads the game to have it’s rating changed to Adults Only?
The ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board) have given retailers an option of either pulling the game from shelves or exchanging their copies for those with the correct rating, I’m guessing they could also just whack a sticker on there to achieve that as well.
Rep. Joe Baca, D-Calif., said this week the video game industry needs a good dose of government oversight and renewed a call for a law requiring the FTC to determine if the video game industry’s labeling practices are unfair or deceptive.
WTF dude? How about the government take care of issues like health care & education and stay the heck away from parenting? My parents knew full well what kind of games I was playing and thankfully they were fairly liberal so I got to play games like Leisure Suit Larry before when the government believed I was mature enough. I really hate this world where people refuse to take responsibility for their own actions, like why is there even a Parents group surrounding this? It would be different if this was a The Wiggles game that had an embedded sex scene but to complain about a sex scene in GTA is just stupid.
