Well you might not believe it, but here in Europe a game with lots of blood & gore will be rated as +18 meaning you will not find it in your normal store.That
means only those that know where else it might be available will get it. For your normal users, the game will be next to non existant. Might be differant in your part of the world, but I doubt customers are only sought in one certain region? I think they are aiming at a wide spectrum of users all over the world. That means certain restrictions in various countries have to be taken into account, otherwise its a no go there.
