Not quite. In fact, they'll get more sales in the 20-30 year target buyers. Admittedly, they'll lose some sales in the teenage sector, but community will appreciate that.

Indeed, most gamers are between 18 - 30, maybe 16 - 30 but Captain US is right about the community being happy with it. Now I don't mean every young teen but alot of people at this age are immature and can be quite annoying ingame. Just my opinion.

True. But how many teenagers do you know that don't play video games? So I would almost say its 50/50. If they could push the limit of the T rating like putting as much as you can in a T game without it being rated M that might be fine.

ADHD-wise, not being able to respond mature or to act mature both ingame as on voice-servers and on forums. I don't mean every young teen, I mean a part of this group. Had a couple teams in the past, been part in a couple teams and seen this occurring alot.

Ya, I don't use voice chat or anything. It would be nice to see it rated T just to appeal to all ages (meaning 13+) but there are still lots of adults that play T games.

I'm not 18, but I'm way more mature than 3/4 of the "young adult" population in America.

However, I can honestly say this: Game stores don't like to lose money. Halo 3 was rated M, and I've seen little kids, and by that I mean 12-year olds and below, walking in with their mommy and buying it. How many of those little 12 year olds and Halo 3 that you hear actually have their Mom behind them watching them? I'm not even 18 and I know they those clerk in the stores would trust me if I suddenly walked in and wanted to buy Gears of War.

Only thing I can say about those over-protective, obsessive moms is basically that they don't know how stupid that will be in the long run and their kids lives in the future.

Ya, I could probably walk in and do the same. By the time the game comes out I will look even a bit older. So, I would still like it to be rated T so I can have my parents buy it and give it to me on my B-Day so I don't have to pay, but I will get it either way.

I don't know, that may be what they think it might be (my opinion). there was going to be blood and gore in it too.

RP-T+ means that it isn't fully evaluated yet, but might not be suitable for children. As long as there isn't to much blood, it will most likely be rated T.
