Mass Effect against surprisingly inaccurate allegations of explicit sexual
content in the RPG. Author N'Gai Croal makes strong points about allowing media

mentality in this industry when it comes to controversy," and this aids and

easy for him to say when there was zero truth to the allegation in this particular instance. If it were a more complicated allegation with gray areas of truth, BioWare's PR dept would start talking of course.
