The ratings are basically token, my 12 yr old son has played and demod many that were rated M, no big deal, its not worse than whats on prime time tv these days.
That said, he is not allowed to play or demo this one and I have explained why and what is reportedly on it. I also do not allow him around YuGiO as I view that as kiddie tarot cards and explained to him the consistencies.
Sometimes being a parent you have to make decisions that may not be consistent but explaining the reasons teaches the kids prudence. Its not always simple.
I'm with the parent on this one. The game guy went too far.

Wrong. As a parent, you have an obligation to be consistent.

The game was intended for those over 17.

If you have an issue with adult material, you have it unconditionally. If you have an issue with "wizardry" (as you imply with your description of Yu-Gi-Oh), then you have it unconditionally.

That being said, the Rockstar folks went too far.

But this woman doing the suing is an idiot, and I hope she loses her shirt.
