QuoteIn an e-mail statement sent to Next-Gen, Microsoft said, "It has come to our attention that an unfortunate, obscure content error which includes partial nudity was included in our initial production of "Halo 2" for Windows Vista. As such, we have updated the initial game packaging at retailers with a label, so customers are aware before purchasing the game. Additionally, we've developed an online update which can be downloaded from www.halo2.com to remove the content.

Thought this was quite funny.

QuoteMay 26, 2007 - OK people, we need to talk. VE is not a site for children or the easily offended. Why do I say this? Because a person who recently joined the site wrote me an email complaining about the man's backside in the Halo 2: Vista Boobies thread.

As you can see, the story was originally about boobs that we presumed had somehow slipped into H2: V, but as we later discovered via a board member, it was actually a bloke's ass that appears when you cause an error in the game's editor. The image posted by bcrt2000 and later reported on by Rob is real. It's evidence. It's factual. It isn't there just for the hell of it. Sites your kids can read probably won't reveal why the game got slapped with a 'partial nudity' ESRB tag, but we will.

Therefore, I refer you to our Terms of Service, and in particular, the last line:
  VE is not a kid's site, so don't go bitching to us if you're offended easily.

Quite how a backside is offensive I do not know. The aforementioned complaint came from a guy who had a kid who sometimes reads the site. Presumably his child had a bare backside when he was born, and maybe he has a backside too, though I'm really not sure anymore after reading some of the asinine complaints I've received recently.

Yes, it's great the site is growing, and I'm happy to welcome anyone who comes here, but please understand what we're about before sending letters of complaint concerning the tiniest of things.
