You're wrong. Oblivion was re-rated for the content that was freely available in the game. Disembowled corpses hanging by their feet. Murder as a game mechanic. DOOM-like imagery any time you enter Oblivion itself.
The nude texture found on the discs was only a tiny part of the re-rating. The actual content of the game was the real catalyst for the M.
Check out the latest Computer Games Magazine. I've got an article in there called "I Like To Score" that has all the details of Gamerscore right from MS themselves.
Basically, it's up the publishers how to handle it. There are minimum and maximum numbers you can work with whether the game is on disc or on Live Arcade, but there's not a whole lot else that they restrict.
Do they have a chance of being rehired? Is there not enough work for them so that they had to be let go? If not, these people were fired. Laid off implies some hope of return.
