Newscast: Grand Theft Auto video game gets slapped with an adults-only rating
IDG Entertainment's Sid Shuman is interviewed
...WICAI: Sid Shuman covers gaming for GamePro.com. He says Grand Theft Auto may have been brought to a screeching halt by its own fans. Moding, or modifying games, is encouraged. Fans add characters, new weapons and tools.
Mr. SHUMAN: There's community outreach programs at a lot of these companies to get people to design new modifications, new levels, just different things along those lines, essentially, except that they don't obviously want people to unlock hidden sex scenes in their games that weren't intended to be there.
