I'm totally in favor of Destructive Creations being able to make and sell "Hatred" and not having "to stop it and apologize for it", but I also agree with the AO rating. A game like this should only be consumed by the mentally mature.

My only problem with the AO rating is that it's a barrier to consoles unless they change the game. I think that MS and Sony should change their policy with AO rated games.

I doubt the game would have made it to consoles anyway, the game is probably too controversial. Sony and Microsoft probably would have rejected it anyway to avoid bad publicity. Still, the ESRB rating only serves to give it more free publicity. It's a shame that people decrying the context of the game is ruining what looks like a fun isometric shooter, IMO.
