When Nintendo took the blood out of Mortal Kombat on the SNES, they hurt their image horribly in the eyes of whiny hardcore fanboys, but they really took one for the team and helped save the industry. Because when that trial went to Congress, Nintendo was the only one who could say "Hey look, we took the blood out, all games don't have to have blood and gore everywhere." It helped shut Congress the fuck up so the industry could start the ESRB and govern itself without unconstitutional government interference.

So if you're still whining about that, go back to 1994 and play Night Trap and then live in an alternate history without M-rated games at all, suckers!!!
