However, this is not to say that publishers of such a hit game should be allowed to get away with wrongly rating its games. This incident is a classic reason why Microsoft has banned Easter Eggs embedded inside its software. Yes, users are concerned about safety, but we have larger issues at hand here.

Today, we have sexually explicit content hidden inside the game, tomorrow, it could be something similar to Sony's recent Rootkit fiasco. Now that could seriously hamper user security and privacy. Perhaps when a court ruling comes out for Sony, it could have guidelines for what can or cannot be done during the installation. This is important, so that all content providers, developers and retailers cant get away by putting a 0.5 font size print in the mile long EULA kindly informing us about the additional applications they are installing.

I really think that we are being too unfair to Rockstar. The person who actually made the hack public and was responsible for spreading it in such a way is as much, if not more, responsible for this scenario. I dont see anyone pointing fingers at him. Why? Obviously the profit motive plays a significant role here. Then again, I may be completely wrong here and the intentions could be wholly noble and genuinely for the betterment of the society, but I still believe that we are being petty and missing the larger picture.
