Statements sent to Gamasutra by D3 Publisher and Take-Two have revealed a more active Entertainment Software Ratings Board crackdown regarding publisher produced game trailers, with D3's Dark Sector trailer now withdrawn from public consumption.

The first notice came from D3 Publisher, whose forthcoming action title Dark Sector has not yet been rated by the ESRB. "We recently received a ruling from the ESRB," the statement reads, "...stating that the two officially released Dark Sector gameplay montages have been deemed to contain excessive or offensive content; and to this end are not to be available for download or viewing, regardless of being placed behind an age gate."
