Actually, an AO rating would kill the game's retail sales...just ask Rockstar, which lost tens of millions in the fiscal quarter following the "hot coffee" scandal. 98% of North American retailers do not stock AO rated games per store policy, so an AO re-rating by the ESRB would cost Funcom millions. Between the retailers returning their unsold copies and refusing to stock the game until it had been re-manufactured to remove the AO content and then re-rated to M by the ESRB, Funcom would lose months of potential sales and have to eat the development costs associated with removing the content. Plus, as was the case with GTA: San Andreas, there are the millions of "Kyle's Moms" out there who would seek damages for the innocence stripped from their little angels by the developer and the game industry (Take-Two awarded close to $1 million in total).

QFT

Don't we have freedom of speech? Or do they say somewhere in their agreement thing when installing saying, "You can't make our game look bad, or you'll rue the day you said anything about it."? Well, we don't have anything to say to make it look bad, just play the damn game and you'll see.

Yesterday I was reading an article here about E3 I think it was, and this shocked me (sarcasm): One of the guys (I don't remember his name) wasn't going to show the game, but Ellingson (I think that's it) said that they're doing a great job with the game. That made me laugh. I didn't even read past that line because I knew that the whole article would be lies with more lies. To me, it looked like this:

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie Ellingson lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie because lie lie lie lie lie lie lie so now you see that all we do is lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie . And do not forget that we lie lie lie lie lie.

Look up got another infraction for saying thank you.

Disapointed for the less...

 Gamefreek, freedom of speech does not apply to a privately owned website. Likewise, you can't come onto anyones property and start spewing all kinds of speech. Doesn't work that way.

interesting so how does it works?

Would you mean you have bend forward not to mention to accept to be banned for saying thank you?

Sir, I'm not sure we have the same standards.

Hmm you didnt actually say that KOTORO will be rated M, that cannot possibly happen. LA would not let it happen neither would bioware, nor EA so I dont really see it coming.

You never get any infractions on the European forums but hey people just loves us.

Its simple Fc's mods are jerks, but they have the right to do whatever they want, it's their forum, if they had a rule saying account termination if you say : blue on their forums they could ban you for it and be absolutely right. In fact they prolly have at some point of their user agreement thingy a line very small that says they dont need a reason to ban you for ever.
 

It is a watered version of the way the press is run in china atm, criticize => jail.

Well that's sad because I left Europe to live in NA. Weird as customer support is usually 100% better in NA.
