Anime game fans got so angry about a nudity-related age rating they brought down South Korea's 'festering and rotting' game rating agency for corruption

Four anime girls walk along a harbour in Blue Archive.

South Korea's Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) graces our news pages a lot. A bizarre amount, actually, and it's because it might be the leakiest organisation of its type on the planet. In the last month alone, the agency's rating process has inadvertently revealed the existence of a Quake 2 Remaster and given countless people hope that something, anything might be happening to free Red Dead Redemption 1 from its Xbox 360 and PS3 prison. 

But now it's made the news for a very different reason: PocketGamer.biz (via Niche Gamer) reports that the agency is being taken to task over a corruption scandal that's apparently seen hundreds of millions of won in taxpayers' money go missing, and it's only happening because the GRAC made the mistake of angering a legion of anime game fans.
