The average subscriber age of EVE online is 27.
If all those adults can't put up with seeing a (noticeably bloodless) depiction of a man getting his brains blown out, then God help them, I say.

The game is not the problem.
The problem is that you are not adapting to the game.

Proof?
I'd say this is the average age of the owners of the credit cards that are used to pay, unless they used the "date of birth" field from the Account Details page, where you can enter anything you want.
Source: Various interviews with CCP staff (if I could link to them, I would, but I'm not in the habit of saving random URLs)
How they came to that number: god knows. Ask them.
I'm just repeating what I've heard the Devs say.

I have seen many extremely bloody things in my life (fictional and real). This does not mean that I have to put up with seeing it, especially somewhere where I frequent on a regular basis (it will turn up in the pictures on the right of the forum soon no doubt)
My point is that if you don't like it, then you are at liberty not to look at it. my post was there to underline the point that the EVE playerbase is, on average, sufficiently mature to make their own decisions.
This is not a game for younglings. EVE is a drama of political machinations and war on a galactic scale - hardly juvenile themes. We're playing in a sandbox where there's nothing to stop you from scamming the other kids out of their sweeties - provided you don't mind the other kids ganging up on you for it.
If you're offended by that image, then that's all very well and good - just don't look at it. That's your prerogative as a thinking adult. It's my prerogative as a thinking adult, on the other hand, to see that picture and think "cool! New chronicle!". What being a thinking adult doesn't give you is the right to try and force your thinking adult opinion down my thinking adult throat.
