Rockstar Responds to GTA: SA’s AO Rating

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) today changed the rating of Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from “M” to “AO,” and in keeping with the historic maneuver, brought on by pressure from high-level politicians and watchdog groups, Rockstar etched its name in the videogame history books by halting production of the AO version of GTA: SA, is offering labels to retailers, and will be issuing a new, edited version of the game this fall to the North American market.

I still think an ESRB rating change is completely rediculous, but I guess only attention-whoreish politians are the ones who really know. Check out the interview at IGN.
