US House of Representatives wades into Hot Coffeegate

The purpose of the probe will be to determine if publishers Take-Two and developers Rockstar deceived the Entertainment Software Ratings Board in order to receive a lesser rating than the game should have when it submitted Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

The game has been re-rated with an Adults Only rating and pulled from many retail outlets following on from the Hot Coffeegate cafuffle.

Now that the federal government has stepped in Rockstar and Take 2 could find themselves in even more hot… wait for it, wait for it… coffee if it is found that they deliberately deceived the ESRB. µ
