It's different in a video game when it's not real human beings. When y'all move this beyond to reality, a unlike set of things start to happen in your mind, and you get rated slightly differently. So there were certain things that are in the game that would mean the moving-picture show would be unreleasable. And none of u.s. wanted that. … So we were balancing that stuff all the time. And there's some stuff that you will see that really gets quite close to the line considering we didn't desire people to become, 'Meh.
