Title 18; Part I; Chapter 71; Provision 1466; Of the United States Federal Statutes
(a) Whoever is engaged in the business of producing with intent to distribute or sell, or selling or transferring obscene matter, who knowingly receives or possesses with intent to distribute any obscene book, magazine, picture, paper, film, videotape, or phonograph or other audio recording, which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce, shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or by a fine under this title, or both.
I'm thinking SE dose not want to piss off the US government or ESRB for that matter; seeing as they follow under ESRB's rating system and ESRB is held liable for anything obscene or outside their rating criteria.
SCOPE OF THE PRINCIPLES AND GUIDELINES
"In fulfilling a key aspect of the self-regulatory mission of the ESRB, the Advertising Review Council (“ARC”) is responsible for the implementation, administration, and enforcement of advertising guidelines adopted by the interactive entertainment software industry. The following ARC Principles and Guidelines for Responsible Advertising Practices (the “Principles and Guidelines”) apply to all “qualifying advertising” for games rated by the ESRB, and all publishers utilizing ESRB ratings are legally bound to comply with the guidelines and to ensure compliance by their co-publishers, licensee, agents and/or other third parties authorized in connection with the development, creation, distribution or placement of qualifying advertising. Failure to comply with ARC requirements can result in points, corrective actions, and monetary fines." (ESRB; http://www.esrb.org/ratings/principles_guidelines.jsp).
All gaming companies need to keep some sort of degree of "class".
