Ah, so you mean to say that it was watered down and made less hardcore, so it would be accessible to a younger audience? Not ratings-accessible, content-accessible. That makes sense. I still think the "DLC's" being lopped off is due to Activision's influence, rather than your idea, but both make perfect sense. It could be a bit of both, Activision wanting to sell to a wider audience, and make more money.
