Its not so much a matter of a fail, as a matter of Disney not wanting to get sued.
My respons: So you are saying its okay for a kids game to allow cutting people up, blowing them up with cannons and grenades, putting hexes on them, ect, ect, ect but its not good if they shoot people.
Graphics - Have ya ever noticed that the better the graphics, the more adult-orientated the games get? Thats why games like Animal Crossing are rated E (hence their nice, fluffy graphics,) while games like Mass Effect are rated M. Better graphics tends to provoke realism, violence, adult themes, or all three. Besides, lets face it, its a DISNEY games. They are a "happy smile fun land!" type of company, and hardcore, complex graphics at any rate aren't up their alley.
My response: So just because a game has graphics better then doom means its for adults???
Censors - Exactly what TheHawke said. Numbers can be used to give away anything from phone numbers, to addresses, to even an age. And we all know what that can lead to.
The scary thing is, people as old as 16, 17 are giving away their Personal Info. to people they don't know. Sure, you can trust the parents and uncensor numbers. But 99% of the time, the kids just ignore the advice their parents and teachers give them. And then what happens, when kids are getting their identities stolen (which IS a major problem with kids on the internet,) and sometimes things even worse? The company that acted as the predator's medium gets the blame. And once again, we find Disney not wanting to get sued.
My response: If the parents are afraid of the kids giving out the numbers, take them off open chat.
Lockon - Thats understandable, and I am behind your point. But with the creation of jumping amongst pirates, I'm guessing its just to make sure that all pirates recieve the same amount of damage, so its somewhat fair.
Pathfinding - It wouldn't be that fair if pirates could just stand behind a fence, or on a ledge, and fire away grenades without getting hurt. It takes away the challenge in the game.
