Because no other company, ever, has ever got in trouble for it, ever? Because the idea of the ESRB rating content you
cannot access without hax is as daft as a waterproof teabag? Because the exact commonality of leaving data on the disc led to a reasonable presumption that it was a fair thing to do?
Honestly. Next up games will be rated according to user mods.
