Hot Coffee. There was a time when that actually brought to mind a cup of Joe. However, since the whole incident with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, we rather think of the rediculous lawsuit involving a part of the game that isn’t actually playable without a good deal of work. So the final numbers from the suit are in, and you may be surprised at the number of people seeking damages.
Only 2,676 people have claimed damages from Take-Two in the case. Here I thought there were thousands and thousands of people affected by this horrible tragedy. Looks like most people either didn’t see the content, or just didn’t care. Heck, I’d be willing to bet that of the 2,676 people grabbing for cash, only a few hundred even saw the content.
I still fail to see what the issue was in the first place. I mean, this is Grand Theft Auto we’re talking about, not Barbie Princess Adventure Pals or something. If you bought a game clearly marked as being for “Mature” audiences, you shouldn’t be upset when something like sex comes up. This is exactly what’s wrong with this country, you can go around and rip people from their cars and beat them to death and it’s no big deal, yet somehow when sex comes up, people get all up in arms.

I agree. Why are we allowed to kill people but not have sex with them?
And why can people sue over content that they themselves added to the game by hacking it ?
And why cant RockStar sue these people in return for hacking their product? Someone had to break in and change their artwork.. Clearly RockStar did not intend to have this content in the game - Because It Was Not In The Game!
agreed. and besides how can one be offended since you actually needed to know about “hot coffee”, actively search for it and download it then apply it to the game before you could even get the “action” all at the same time as knowing you’ll be offended by the end result!!?? hey???! man i’m surprised that many complained. it is a mature title so whats the deal? hmmm… wonder if i could claim compensation for stress of nightmares and hallowing visions and violent tendancies for playing… say… manhunt?
i want to play this games and put it in my comuter now.
