I cant tell you how many times I have been verbally assaulted (sexually) in online games. Male gamers - mostly youngish - are treating and acting towards fem characters and fem gamers in a horrific manner.
It helps to make the gaming an unsavory environment. I've talked to other fem gamers online and all have experienced the same thing...red flag people...big red fucking flag.

You have to remember, though, that gaming is by a large margin predominately male. Developers are going to appeal to said majority because that's where the money is, saying the sexual undertones in many games is a blight is akin to saying that scantily-clad women don't belong in men's magazines.
Another point to note, too, is that younger gamers generally treat everyone with disrespect, like to cheat a lot, cannot understand that someone's better than them and generally a lot of 'omfg c4mp3r f4g H4C|<3R@!!@#3'.

I'll say it's hand's down Rockstar's fault. Mind you I think Congress shouldn't be involved, but it's still Rockstar's fault. They have laws basically saying that the company has to include everything when the game's being judged and looked at for content and rating, and they clearly didn't do that, and now months later that's out in the open that Rockstar went around the rating system to include pornography that would have changed the rating on the game.
It's like a movie company throwing in a sex scene into a PG-13 movie after it's already been rated then expecting to get away with it.

No, it'd be like cutting the scene from a movie, someone breaking in and finding that footage, recutting it into a bootleg copy of the movie and redistributing it.
And again,
there are no laws when it comes to ratings, only guidelines and policies. Perhaps this will boot someone into action and set boundaries will come into play, but as it stands it's entirely up to the industry.
