Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is now Adults Only
It has finally happened. The protestors got what they wanted. The video game industry has changed the rating of the game ‘Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’ to adults only. The problem started when it was noticed by the media that explicit sexual content could be enabled in the game using a mod available for free on the Internet. This led to huge protests from the politicians and parental groups who were demanding a ban on the game.
Another problem for the developers of the game, Rockstar Games was that several of the big stores and retail chains like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp., and Best Buy Co. had threatened pulling out this videogame from their stores. Rockstar has now said that they would stop making copies of the game in its current format and would provide new labels to any retailer ready to keep selling the game.
The game was originally rated ‘M’ for containing mature content. Users can also download a patch from the company’s website, which fixes this issue of the existence of adult content in the game. Even the parent company of Rockstar Games, New York-based Take Two Interactive has now admitted that the content was already present in the game when it was shipped and they are now going to fix the issues.

I think that it is really pathetic that parents and politicians are worried about a game when there are worst things going on in the usa, There is illegal trafficing going on(that is where kids are being sold overseas to be someone’s sex slave and these kids are young too). I think some people really need to worry more about worst things then some stupid game!
