GTA San Andreas Class Action Law Suit

SS4Gogeta | January 07, 2008 | News | PC Playstation 2 Company Misc 
While reading the Sunday January 6, 2008 edition of the Houston Chronicle I came across an ad in Parade Magazine I found very interesting. On page 8, there's an ad for a class action settlement proposed against Take-Two Interactive Software and its subsidiary Rockstar Games for the "Hot Coffee" hidden content in GTA San Andreas.

Needless to say I was somewhat shocked by this and a little angry. I find this class action to be overkill and unnecessary. See the web site for complete details.
• A proposed settlement of a class action lawsuit will provide replacement discs and/or cash to consumers who
purchased a valid copy of the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game.
• The Plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim that copies of the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas video game manufactured before
July 20, 2005 contained elements that could be modified to display scenes of a sexual nature that have come to be
referred to as the “Hot Coffee” content.
• You may receive a replacement of the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas disc or cash benefits as described below:

    Didn't the game get bumped up to an AO rating after the Hot Coffee content was found anyway? If so, then the entire lawsuit is basically null as the rating was changed to fit the content once it was discovered.

    This happened three *bleep*ing years ago. Drop it already. No one gives a shit about it anymore and the defendant has a snowball's chance in Hell of getting a bigger sentence than "don't sell this game to minors!"

    What amazes me is that it wasn't settled sooner. It's been years since the Hot Coffee debacle, this just shows how useless U.S. lawsuits have become. Not only can you sue anyone for absolutely anything, but you won't get an answer for at least three years...

    FFS. Let go of the past. Who, with Halo 3 and Bioshock and Super Mario Galaxy and Crysis and Mass Effect and whatever, would still play that game regularly enough to uncover the Hot Coffee? This would have been controversial years ago.

      Whoa! You don't have GTA San Andreas?! Dude get the game and play it already. It is a must have and the "Hot Coffee" content was removed years ago. "Get it and join the rest of us in the gaming world before we kill you." Eric Cartman, South Park "Make Love Not Warcraft"
