This game is better with adult content, it got everything else already
I don't want to deal with anyone under age 18 anyway. And lets face is, ALL the kids of age 14+ have seen porn - not just 3D graphic, but the real stuff. So there's no reason to pretend like EVE's protecting anyone's sensibilities.
Make EVE a M-rated game, make EVE cool
and for ****s sake do something about the forum word filter, this isn't Catholic school for girls

CCP makes a game with heavy emphasis on immersion. And then removes parts of the immersion.
Bravo guys.
I don't really want to bring this up again, but this seems like another stepping stone on CCP's gradual "pussification"/"carebearization" of the game. The older players have brought up this issue many times already, as it becomes more apparent with every patch. It's just sad to see CCP turn back on their original vision. I blame the new devs

And yes. It IS an American phenomenon.

Umm, doesn't Europe have similar standardization boards?
From what I seen of European TV, they are much more open about sex and less open about bloody violence

I think you're confusing "M" with "AO".
Yes, I already admitted that.
Edit: But besides my confusion, it's true that some major retailers decline to sell M rated games. Read this interesting article called "New Study Finds M-Rated Games Sell Best" in Gamasutra. You'll find this part:
Originally by: Gamasutra
Notably, according to the study, mature-rated titles, comprising 10 percent of all US retail games examined, have both the highest average MetaCritic scores and the highest average gross sales in the United States -- despite the fact that some major retailers decline to sell them.
It's evident that teens like M rated games. But some states put high fines if they catch a store selling M rated games to minors.
And the problem with AO is worse still.
So, to avoid problems most developers aim for T, I guess.
All of that seems pretty obvious to me. I can imagine that only non-gamers would think otherwise.
How did CCP get tricked into falling for teen rated restriction? was it because some of their marketing people pushing? maybe their investors pushing? maybe some outside influence bullied them into it?
Or are they just losing the gamer spirit and turning into another big faceless corporate machine?
