They are just trying to sell more copies.

They know, it we know it, everyone knows it. A teen rating limits the grittyness of a game QUITE a lot. PG13 movies can get away with more than teen rated games.

I mean it is not like the PR people are going to come out go "Well the team is really bummed about the teen rating because they can't do all the awesome things they had planned, but it really makes sense from a business standpoint to us because we want really grab that WoW market."

Fair a approximation is bullshit for we will do the best we can, sorry.
