There ya go thinking the worst without due cause again. I know of more than enough instances of this sort of thing that it being an accident is very probable. It's the natural result of "reply all" doing a "CC" by default instead of "BCC". Some ignorant spokeperson not knowing the difference doesn't seem far off. I mean, how often do people mass-email the ESRB anyway?
I'm sure you can say there's some sort of motive, and you could even make the motive convincing. The problem is, while hindsight is 20/20, it doesn't benefit anyone in the past. Motive alone isn't solid evidence, whatever benefit you may imagine for them.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
