I'll second that....  First, what is an ESRB rating, and why should
we care?  If something like this were true, wouldn't there have been
a post from google (or rather, someone from google) here to let us
know about it?

Jim, 

ESRB?  That huge organization that rates video games and puts the little "T," "E," and occasionally "M" stickers on the games?

Surely you've seen the little icons, but it is scary if it is indeed that the market is biasing towards games with endorsed ratings..
