Wow.....that's really dumb.

[Sephiroth_]

It's what our great world has come to, kids can't see this in games, but it's ok in movies, or their everyday life at school...

Well lets put it this way, If gta:sa had the sex minigame as part of the main game do you think it would have gotten the same rating ?.. or even have been released ?

And about the "fuck" thing... if you live anywhere in new york or a big city and not hear that word said every 2 minutes then theres something wrong. Its part of my daily vocab.

I think they should have gone either of two ways: either leave the minigame in and have their sales suffer because of a higher rating, or scrap it from the final release. Although, I appreciate that it was left in there for someone to find and realize their vision.

If you managed to get the minigame working, you'll realize that it, well, it sucks. It's not sexy at all. It's not funny either. It's just there. Individually, SA does no one thing well and this is no surprise. The full game works as a whole, however, if you tolerate its shortcomings of which there are many. I'm sure we can approximate how this will all play out in the end.

Who's Vance? Lance Vance from Vice City?  

The game is for 18+ years old, as adults we can do what we want.

It's yet another excuse for some human wastes-of-space to get their 15 minutes of fame having a whine about yet another controversial but not-particularly-important issue that they can take great joy in blowing entirely out of proportion, yet again.

So we have something rather explicit that children (assuming that the "children" a) are intelligent enough to perform the modification, and want to see something that those who don't already know what it is may well avoid)

But of course, we're not taking into account the fact that it's not a child's game if the ESRB has decided to rate it Everyone... I think we'd have a serious case of misjudgement on our hands and as it is in the UK, if you want to buy it, you have to be 18 to have it (or at least, old-looking enough to convince the shop-owner you can buy it without producing ID) so it seems in the US that yet another bunch of power-hungry morons seem very intent on protecting "the people" from 'evils' such as these by policing them, and getting that oh-so-special feeling of self importance about having done society their idea of a favour.

Anyone remember that general custer game, many years back? despite the pixellation, that's far worse than San Andreas IMO.

Freedoms are there to be enjoyed, the US can be thankful it has a constitution, because with the plans for ID cards in the UK, I want to emmigrate.

the censorship laws are dumb anyways....you can show massive amounts of any type of violence imaginable but if you show a women naked then it's inapropriate.  Get some sense killing people is wrong and we all know that but having sex is a natural thing yet it's frowned upon to be seen in a video game.
Now I'm not saying ANYONE should be able to see this but if they're 18 or over then it shouldn't matter, which the game was already rated appropriatly.

[dethbox]

I seen a story about this on the news tonight.

[iwanttheagrocrag]

What the hell, that sucks. They shouldnt get in trouble should they? Its not even in the game. I bet rockstar is already taking the code out and firing someone, but its too late.

[CrakkedOut]

hmmmm the game is rated Mature............18++++...........why would they have such a problem with it. just blame the parents for ignoring the rating

[garyopa]

Today Take-Two, released a notice to the press,
that Rockstar didn't make the content, and the
content is HARD work of the "modders", with
disassembly, recombining, and adding to the
original source code. And they are working with
Rockstar in now increasing the "security" and
"protection" of their source code.

Oh'Boy... What a line of shit being fed to the PRESS.

There is nothing on Take-Two website, but all the local
newspaper of the following statements, which claimed
to be "Rockstar" offical word on the "mod", and has been
copied by many of the gaming sites. Here is the quotes
from "Rockstar":

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We have learned that the 'hot coffee' modification is the work of a determined group of hackers who have gone to significant trouble to alter scenes in the official version of the game," Rockstar Games, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., said in a statement.

The "hot coffee" modification, which violates the game's software user agreement, is the result of hackers disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game's source code, Rockstar said.

Rockstar added that the "hot coffee" scenes could not be created without intentional and significant technical modifications and reverse engineering of the game's source code.

Rockstar said it is investigating ways to increase the security protection of the source code and prevent the game from being altered by the "hot coffee" modification.
