GTA 'Hot Coffee' class action settled with $20 million payoutDela @ Sep 03, 2009 01:21 | 24 comments
Store shelves were re-stocked with copies of the game that did not include the unlockable code, which then carried the M rating. Now, five years after the this happened, Take-Two and its insurers have agreed to pay $20 million ($4,915,000 from Take-Two and $15,200,000 from its insurers) to settle a class action lawsuit that stemmed from the controversy.
"We are pleased to have reached this settlement, which represents another important step forward for the company," said Strauss Zelnick, chairman of Take-Two, in a brief statement. |

Comment by: EEE31 (Sep 03, 2009 19:16) This is retarded. Obviously Hillary never saw the rest of the game, or she would have had other things to complain about. GTA is an awesome series and I get everyone of them, but if they are handing out $20m, where do I stand in line. |
Comment by: Amak (Sep 03, 2009 19:23) Only in America is violence ok, but sex is the ultimate evil. |
Comment by: Footie979 (Sep 03, 2009 19:55) Hilary was trying to look good for her presidential campaign. All moot now. |
Comment by: Draama247 (Sep 03, 2009 20:29) Hillary was trying to get revenge for everybody saying that her husband had sexual relations with that monica girl.

Comment by: smokyrain (Sep 03, 2009 21:23) No thanks for me. I personally think there is nothing wrong with what they did.

I bet there are a lot of 50 year old women with small breasts that would be willing to buy such a uniform just for the legal status of being a minor again...at least in G.B. I imagine there is a lot of such 'child porn' around since not all porn stars have big tits, but most porn stars have worn the school girl uniform.

Comment by: Unfocused (Sep 04, 2009 23:02) So, the fact that the EULA clearly states that you accept the software as is and are unable to modify the code in any way doesn't mean anything? |

Comment by: EEE31 (Sep 09, 2009 15:47) They say that countries that show sexual activity on TV (such as Japan) experience far less sex crime than does America. But if one boob pops out on American TV then all hell breaks loose from 'concerned parents' that they just destroyed their kids minds. Never mind that they let their kids go to the movie theater and see the same stuff without being tramatized. |
