GTA: San Andreas 'Hot Coffee' mod and the gaming industry

[Puppet Master]

I have never had a problem with any rockstar games, GTA games or any games, except crappy ones. I know Rockstar didn't release the mod themselves and that hackers found it and distributed it but I am pissed at Rockstar. When they put that into the game surely they would know that eventually someone would find it. Because someone did find it the gaming industry is in hot water. I never really noticed until recently that the industry was in trouble. When Mortal Kombat first came out it caused a lot of people to get angry and start talking about shutting down the gaming industry. That bullet was dodged. The GTA games always caused a bit of a riot because you stole cars and killed people blah blah blah. But when Rockstar decided to have a sex minigame in San Andreas I have to ask. What the fuck were they thinking? Surely some politician somewhere would get pissed and start blaming the games for violence and things again. Luckily Rockstar took it out of the game before release. It still got out there though. I've already started ranting so I'l just say. Violence in video games is okay, but everyone should know where to draw the line.

But really, I thought it was a pretty cool minigame. And rockstar took it out for public release so how are they at fault?

There are way too many stupid people at large:

Grandma sues Rockstar over her 14 year old grandson being exposed to sexual material in GTA: SA

So let's get this straight.

(1) 85 year old grandma buys her 14 year old grandson a Mature rated video game (ages 17+)
(2) Grandma sues when she turns on the boob tube and sees that GTA: SA has now been given an Adult's Only rating.

the hot coffee mod is something that should have been a april fools gag 6 years ago (with a hilariously impossible way to unlock)

Shooting people through the face with a minigun: ok

Having sex with your girlfriend: riot inducing

I like how it's all "rockstar put in IN there, man! They KNEW somebody would find it!". If your dad left a gun in his room, and all his ammo in a locked cabinet of which you knew nothing, and after days of supersleuth investigation through the whole house you somehow found the key to that cabinet, unlocked it, took out the bullets, loaded the gun and forcibly inserted it into your rectum and then fired off a few shots, is it your dad's fault?

[camacazio]

Yes. He should be a more responsible parent.

[Helm]

Your argument has defeated me. I have no choice but to completely agree.

[Guitar Woman]

I love you Helm

[iron mitchell]

i'm gonna sue because i can't play the mini-game on my PS2 copy of the game!

[timrpgland]

Rockstar are marketing geniuses.

[Ninjavenom]

Agreed. They're laughing all the way to the bank :O

Nothing says big bucks like controversy

I bet Rockstar makes P. Diddy look like a working class single parent
