I'm going to say that I support this, but I really am somewhat on the fence about it, and this is mostly because I do not want to see this game go into a tailspin and get crapped on by the American media. After all, the American subscriber base is a very large portion of Eve's total subscriber base.
However, what I am mainly concerned about is what the media attention will result in. Such content would be deemed very inappropriate by certain parties in the U.S., which might result in the game receiving an AO rating. This would kill Eve in the U.S.
Even with all of this being said, I support this for one very good reason. Sexual topics and differences are not something that should be a taboo subject in American culture, but rather something to be explored. There are younger children who should not be exposed to strip bars and such environments, but honestly I think something like this would be a small move for the U.S. to a better set of cultural ideals that don't idealize violence and abstain from all sexual topics.
With that being said, add prostitutes just for realism please. I don't understand what it is with Mass Effect and not having pro's, but having all sorts of nasty bars and such...
EDIT: Also, it should be noted for all that once Incarna goes live, there's a good chance that the female portion of the subscriber base will shoot up, just because Eve won't be purely about space ships and such, but avatars also. Just something that should be mentioned.

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 believe thats the point. Many players want an AO rating(what ever AO means)
They don't want a kidified world that is friendly and hello kitty compatable. With everything being so kid friendly leave us our EvE.
Where Men are.....well most often men.
You don't understand. AO is Adults Only. This is one rating above the M rating for the ESRB. It IS a game killer, a lot like the NC-17 rating is a movie-killer.
