The ESRB had to add the content descriptor so people knew, deep in the game's code, there was a bit of nudity.
A game without a descriptor for nudity contained nudity. If content was on the disc that was printed and sold, no matter how well hidden, it had to be rated. Lawsuits ensued, as did changes in how games were rated and how such content was disclosed during the ratings process.
The game had to be re-rated as Adults Only, it was yanked from the store shelves and ultimately replaced with copies of the game that didn't have the offending content. You see, the gaming industry was just getting over a controversy called "Hot Coffee," where people found previously inaccessible sexual content in copies on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Everything came to a screeching halt when this butt was discovered.

There was only one problem: hidden deep in the game's code was a picture of a butt. Halo 2was a huge deal at the time, and creating a version with the Games for Windows branding that was exclusive to Windows Vista seemed like a great move from Microsoft's point of view but, if I remember correctly, it annoyed the living hell out of just about everyone else.
