I don't believe that a little bit of nudity or even Futa in EvE would cause it's downfall in the US.
If it gets an AO rating in the U.S., it most certainly would cause Eve's downfall.
I was going to refrain from posting in this thread despite how much it amuses me, but this quote is something I needed to comment on.
EVE Online is primarily sold online. Even in the United States. I've searched for a boxed copy of EVE every time I've been at a store that sells PC games. I've done this every time I've been in these stores since I started playing EVE back in March 2007. I've only come across an EVE box twice. Once at a gamestop where the employees didn't even know wtf it was, and once at Fry's the other day where only a single copy of the game was on the shelf.
An AO rating would only stop in-store. I'm pretty sure the majority of players in EVE came to be through purchasing the game directly, online through the EVE Online website.
As is proof by the multitude of **** sites, you can't dictate that an AO video game can't get sold on a website. It's companies like walmart that ban a product because of ratings, not the government. The government only requires ratings so people know what they are getting into when distributing the material to their children.

With that said, I had no idea what Futanari was until I read this thread, and then enjoyed the 7 pages of laughter from the very obvious trolls. On that note I wont actually provide my real opinion because I know CCP won't ever touch something taboo. It's the exact same reason they stopped allowing us to show cleavage in our character portraits, and only re-enabled that feature after they got bashed by the player base in these threads. I'm for sexuality, but I don't think CCP will implement it on this scale.
... I do however require Minmatar Zero-G sex chambers be implemented.
