this movement has a site yes? link please!

betted heavily on no, a games rating will not be changed unless further content is uncovered like happened with the hot coffee scandal. this is a silly thing for anyone to try to do, a game can't be rated becuase of politics. What if ninty made a Mario game where he was a vampire and went around sucking blood and it was super gory, still rated E because Mario's a kid friendly face!?!!

Here's one I found... Doesn't look very likely to me unless they were stupid enough to leave in more disabled code like last time around.

A game can't be rated because of politics? Wow I must be on a different planet.

oh they are rated by politics, but those happen BEFORE it's released. After that they have to something incredibly stupid like the hot coffee thing before it will be changed.

@dragon - I'm assuming that is sarcasm.. Hot Coffee was a hidden X-rated minigame that was 'accidentally' left in GTA San Andreas. After some users discovered how to unlock it, the entire game received an Adult rating. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_mod
