“It doesn’t make sense. The ratings boards are not telling us that these games aren’t for kids. We know that already. What they’re telling us is that adult games shouldn’t exist at all. We don’t agree, and neither does our customer base of adults who are interested in games that might include themes like sex, drugs, and language. Since they’ve made it so that games like ours can’t be marketed and distributed through the channels other video games use, we are starting a new industry to get this game out to our customers.” - D-Dub Software CEO

I think he got the point, everyone should send an email to Microsoft, Sony & Nintendo and ask them why!

Video gamer aren't just for kids at all and I remember that there was a survey which found out that they are more adult video gamer than the kids. When we look at the market, we know that Mature title will easily become the best selling title and there is no problem for selling AO games.

Videogame is an Art, there is no way you should banned or restrited it.

Suddenly, I have an idea for what kind of Wii should get, Mature party games and Hardcore mini games or vice-versa. It could be head-exploding party games, sex-driven mini games ad more. House of Dead:Overkill would a great party game if they made the game right and possibly MadWorld too. However, I believe it wouldn't be Hardcore or Mature enough if there is ESRB and stupid Videogames' publishing rules.

It's not the ESRB's fault that people don't want to publish AO games. It's perfectly fine to have that rating, and if the developer wants to make an AO game they just have to know the consequences.

they want to make games that appeal to as many people as possible.
