Argument is fail.

I don't really think it unreasonable to claim GTA:SA is an AO game. I've played it plenty, and it's coarse and violent when you're listening to the radio.

I do think it is unreasonable to condemn the game because of hard-to-access content which isn't actually part of the game itself, and which requires concious effort on the part of the gamer to access. I mean, to open up the console versions you need entirely seperate hardware, whilst the PC version requires you to go and download the mod, as well as having to subject the game to some difficult conditions and risk losing your save file. It's not something you just come across accidentally. It's almost akin to calling for a book's sales to be restricted because of a yaoi fanfic someone wrote about it. Or like trying to take down Bethesda because of Morrowind's Better Bodies mod.

So you are quite happy to disregard all of the issues involved in a decision like this, and all the worries and objections, and the potential ramifications for the industry as a whole, simply because you don't like the particular game it happened to? Bravo.
