There is certainly no need of, at the moment, but I was referring to
Paul's words:

I haven't played the game myself, and I quite likely won't, so I don't
have a personal opinion. All I know is that different people have
different points of view about what the games contains. I guess that
most of us are building our opinion on other's, thus being a 2nd or
3rd hand opinion. i honestly don't know how the game is like, whether
it is legal or not in some countries or others, or if it would be
removing some scenes. There is a great difference in one case and the
other.
Even before all the discussion started, when I noticed that it would
be a controversial game I asked both the DPL and the FTP Masters to
know their position. Just for the record, it is quite likely that at
some point or other there will be some kind of games for adults
proposed, probably not as this one, according to what has been said
about it, but for adults nonetheless. It will be a good thing to know
in advance what to do about that. It would be a waste of time to go
through all the process of packaging the game to jave it rejected for
social or moral reasons in the end. Legal reasons are a different
thing.
