sucks but its Apple's program and thats the way it is

funny people are all over this but no one objects when Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft ban AO rated games...

That's simple... no one cares if a usually sucky 60 dollar/euro game get's blocked. But I'd happily pay a dollar to watch bouncing titties all day.

ya but WHAT IF someone comes along and makes a great game, I mean a game to change all games, pimp the hell out of it on the web everyboyd gets excited and then the ESRB slaps a AO rating on it, their would be outcry...

Yep, and it'll happen sometime.

But think of the way movies slided slowly into more and more controversial material. Games is the same - were Mortal Kombat once created an outcry, there's currently very little controversy over Dante's Inferno or Aliens versus predator. There's almost no limit anymore when it comes to violence. Now sex is the new frontier. We're currently into PG13 rated sexual scenes in top-tier games (Mass effect and Heavy Rain). Give it a few generations and suddenly it's ok for Captain Shepard to show the reverse Cowgirl in all it's glory.
