Quote: I want to shoot people in the face, bang prostitutes, traffic drugs, steal cars, and terrorize police officers without this filthy smut in my game. <--- quoted from the article Aratan posted.I'm amazed with Maddox' ability to write satire! This incident represents the psychology of the US so well. You can implement brutal murder in a game, and the ESRB will slap a 15+ sticker on it. As soon as you see a boob, BOOM: "This game is only suited for persons over 18." Which is worse? 15-year-olds having sex or 15-year-olds killing old people with a baseball bat? _______________ In the navy and LOVING it!

so? the kids will still play this game. you cant stop that. kids played the game when it was M(ature) rating and its very easy to understand that they are not mature  so this A(dult) rating doesnt mean anything. _______________ playing jk3 since 30th of january (2005), member since 1st of february.

Yeah kit, that's why its being revoked. They programmed it into all versions of the game but there was no way to access it. Then these guys come along and hack the game and discover it and release a mod that allows you to access it. Originally it was believed the mod added the content. But since it came to light that it exists in the game I'd say the recall and slapping of AO on it until a fixed version is released is the right call. And this is rockstar games. I'm not surprised really since they are about the sleaziest of the game makers. I'd be more shocked if this were coming from Capcom or Activision. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I also believe they're recalling all of the games and plan to remove that content from the game. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.
