ESRB Changes
Oblivion's Rating to M announces a change in the ESRB rating for The Elder
Scrolls IV: Oblivion to "M" for mature, the game had previously been rated "T"
(teen). Word is: "The content causing the ESRB to change the rating involves
more detailed depictions of blood and gore than were considered in the original
rating, as well as the presence of a locked-out art file or 'skin' that, if
accessed through a third party modification to the PC version of the game,
allows the user to play with topless versions of female characters."
This is very very very very BAD.
It may be funny to some, but this is BAD for the industry.
If publishers continue to deceive the ESRB, or the ESRB aren't thorough in their reviews, Congress and all the other Nanny State morons like Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton are going to say "see! see! This industry cannot regulate itself!"
And then BOOM. The legislation will come down like a ton of Bibles, er....BRICKS.
THIS IS BAD, FOLKS. Just more fuel for the zealots who want to regulate the game industry to hell and back.
