This is horrible.

I'm affraid this is only the start, and now this will start to happen more and more. Should we expect GTAIV to be tunned-down on violence as a form of R* avoiding the story repeating? The people who are working on the game should be allowed to use thir creativity to the maximum and not be counterfeited by politics, any work of art will resent if the creator is not tottally free to do what he thinks is best.

And if GTAIV does receive an AO rating? Will Sony mantain it's "No AO games on our systems" policy??? GTAIV will sure be a boast for PS3 hardware sales... I don't know, this all sounds very scary for the industry.
