A big company taking a stance for common sense If I hadn't read it I never would have believed it.
A game with a gay relationship possibility? Shock and horror!! It's the end of civilisation as we know it.
A game where you go around shooting people, chopping their heads off, ripping their spines out? Oh, bless, let's buy it for little Johnny's tenth birthday.
These parent groups are concerned about exposing their children to gay relationships in games, but there is no concern at all about exposing them to violence. In what world does that make sense?
This reminds me of the incident when the South Park film came out and Scary Spice took her under-age (I think it was her nephew) to see it at the cinema and left in disgust over the language content. It was rated 15 for a reason.
If a film or game is rated 18 (or the US equivalent NC-17) and you choose to allow your teenage child to see/play it, you can't start complaining about explicit language, sex content or other similar adult material.
Parent's have a responsibility to use both the ratings and their own common sense, and stand up to their children.
