Goto any retailer resource who is posting stats , Conan is selling to 12 to 18 years on average of 8 to 3 vs gamers over 25. Further more putting M on a retail box is a huge draw for the 12 to 16 crowd.

The forums , have a massive amount of 12 to 16 years , and Funcom isnt dealing with them very well. On top of that no retailer is enforcing the M rating , they , along with Funcom , and Fileplanet have no policy to prevent miniors from buying the game.

Even online stores , are only asking Year/Month/Day for protection. The enitre blogs deal with subjects that teeny boppers love nipples , sex buffs , nudity , excessive blood/gore.

If Funcom was marketing to adults , then why did they pick retailers who have no policy for M games , and why dont they join the nanny block , or any of the other block.

Further more you can see the box art is designed to target teen males , much like EQ1 was art was.
