Hot Coffee settlement site opens
PUNTERS who downloaded special software to look at secret sex scenes in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and were offended can now visit a website to see how their class action is going.
According to Gamespot, offended gamers can now visit an official Web site to sign up for their piece of the settlement.
Under the deal, publishers Take-Two will exchange AO-rated versions of the game with M-rated discs to cash payments.
The gamer has to promise that they bought a copy of the game before July 20, 2005 and were "offended and upset” by it.
They also have to pretend that they wouldn't have purchased the game if they'd known about the mod, and would have returned it if they knew.
Any serious gamers would have to question their own street cred by admitting those three points and those who were offended should have problems with their conscious in taking the money.
However Take-Two believes it will spend a million on the settlement and the cost of the scandal was about $2.75 million.

So.... some one gets a game.... and then gets a patch to do something that was disclosed before downloading the patch... and then sues because of the out come?

Yeah, I can see that. Hey I have an idea, why don't we have a sign hanging around the Statue of Liberty's head that says "Welcome to America - the land of the retarded".

Before you flame, realize that this is the only country where you can sue for a marble company for disgestion issues because you managed to swallow 2 lbs of their stock. "Well it they should put a label on them that says do not eat.."

Oh, and don't act like this is an over reaction. No, I expected McDonalds to sell me COLD coffee. 

They stopped selling bottle rockets in most states because little Timmy was having a BOTTLE ROCKET FIGHT and got his eye shot out.

I want to push for a new regulation. Take the warning labels off of everything and let the problem solve it's self. Let the stupid DIE. If memory serves correctly someone in history talked about something like this. Darwin.

Oh... and yeah... this was posted by an American.... Damn it *looks at the floor in shame*
Anyone offended by sexuality is most likely not a reproducing biological organism but rather more probably a dangerous alien robot and should be quarantied, at best they are brainwashed and in need of deprogamming. Of course where the severity of conditioning has compromised the limbic system, a little rest and recreation is unlikely to suffice. Furthermore on a planet where normal biological behaviors are repressed on mass, one must ask how such deviation is engineered. Perhaps these ppl witnessed something not pornographic but violent and criminal. Wait are we talking about a game that is violent and criminal. No doubt a healthy dose of sexuality would make the players less trigger happy. Obviously the studio has run afoul of americas twisted sense of morality, 'guns good, sex bad'. LOL, make love not war ppl. ty Kman out
It's not like you could actually stumble across the "Hot Coffee scenes in the 18 rated game.

You can to conciously go out to the internet and get a unofficla patch to unlock it.

After this you could finally see what all the fuss was about.

I don't see how anyone would be any more offended that walking into a newsagent, buying a porno mag, and then being offended by minge inside the covers...
