ESRB caves to stupidity
Yes this is a little out of date (it took place on May 3) but it involves a game for the Xbox 360 (which I could care less about) and PC (I have been out of the loop on PC games for the last year or so.) I just found out thanks to today's Penny Arcade.
It seems that Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion has been given a new rating, from T to M. The reason? Someone made a MOD that allows you to see naked versions of the female characters.
Yes ladies and gentlemen, becouse of user created content, Oblivion was rerated!
With Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, atleast the code for the Hot Coffee Mod was there in the final product. You just needed to get the MOD that allowed you to see the scene. This time the offensive content isn't even in the final version!
The ESRB gave in and changed the rating, but I can't help but wonder if they would have if the Hot Coffee MOD hadn't exsisted/been discovered yet. After all, like I said it is user-created content that you have to download.
So when do you think The Sims, which has a similer patch available, will get rerated?
