I still don't get the huge deal over this. Okay, so we push the game up to an AO rating..now what? Oh, that's right, now you have to be 18 or older to buy it compared to 17.
You think the difference of one year will make the game any less available to children? As if the parents that bought the mature rated game for their kids aren't going to suddenly stop and thing if it says AO on it.
It's not how much money they made in the box office, it's the principal of the matter.
From my perspective, blame is being focused in the wrong direction. As some have said before, it'd be like blaming HTTP or FTP for transmission of the torrent files.
They're pushing the blame from their poor security to a popular file-sharing protocol, while further "solidifying" their argument against BitTorrent. Win-win for them, assuming the people reading about it cannot detect bullshit when they see it.
