John Romero, Doom-maker and former Penny Arcade whipping boy, has posted on his blog about the Oblivion re-rating. His main point: when modders put nudity in a game, they're making things tougher for everyone.

Now what's going to happen? You'll probably start seeing game data files becoming encrypted and the open door on assets getting slammed shut just to keep modders from financially screwing the company they should be helping. And the day a game company's file encryption is hacked to add porn and the case goes to the ESRB for review - that's when we'll see how well game companies are protected from these antics and what the courts will rule. Hopefully it'll be on the developer's side.

I'm pretty sure that's already happened. Isn't there a porn ROM hack of Super Mario Brothers?
