Nothing will happen.. they'll settle out of court and give them 1/100000th of what they rake in.
it sounds retarded. the sex scene in no way helped profits as its only been leaked for the past couple of weeks. and its hardly false advertising when the package clearly says
Prior to that, the game had carried a "Mature 17+" rating due to "blood and gore, intense violence, strong language, strong sexual content and use of drugs," according to the package.
and finally, THEY ARE ALL FUCKING CARTOON-LIKE VIDEO GAME CHARACTERS. HEY IDIOT PARENTS, YOUR KIDS ARE ALREADY DOWNLOADING HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY FROM THE GOD DAMN INTERNET AND YOU ARE ALL TOO FUCKING RETARDED TO BE PARENTS.

i just find it hilarious that its okay for it to have blood and gore and drugs and theft but as soon as they realize it has sex in it, they change the rating.
the world is so dumb

Ok, i've only been partially paying attention to this. I thought i heard that this was a downloadable mod for the game that created the sex scenes. So is it a mod or just hidden sex scenes that were unlocked. If it were actually hidden, then the game company deserves the reaming they are about to get for being stupid

no, it's a mod. the code was in it for a really crude, underdeveloped sex scene. hackers went into the code and activated this part (illegal) and put out a mod (illegal) entirely seperate of take 2.
it's not that simple. when you're making a game, you often leave in useless hunks of code and such that might cause other things to stop working if removed. it's just easier if the code in question isn't going to be accessed anyway. i can't say for a fact that's what happened, but it's not altogether an unrealistic scenario. hell, you'd be hard pressed to find a game that doesn't have debug stuff or hidden 'relics' of cancelled features.JuggerNaught said:
I guess you guys werent aware of the situation with Take-Two recently. Here's what the hidden sex stuff has caused...
Game has been pulled at- Best Buy, Walmart, Circuit City Target, and Gamestop.
Australia has revoked the classification of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The House of Rep. voted in favor of a resolution to ask FTC regulators whether TTWO misled a ratings board to avoid an adult-only tag. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton asked the FTC to investigate the situation...Clinton also asked the FTC last week to investigate Rockstar.
The FTC Division of Advertising Practices is conducting an inquiry into the advertising claims made for GTA: San Andreas.
The company said hackers were responsible for the downloadable modification that enabled sexually explicit mini-games to be played inside Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. TTWO said it was investigating ways to make is source code more secure.

yeah, its beyond meSpiderman said:That is what will happen to the letter. Judges aren't retarded. Take Two lawyer asks "What type of damages did the plaintiffs incur that require monetary compensation?" Trial over.

It was stupid of Rockstar to lie about the content not already being there, accidentally or otherwise (insert malicious ex-employee/disgruntled programmer excuse here)
They should have issued an involuntary recall and patched the game, but wait! So many people have been waiting to jump on Rockstar’s balls about the gratuitous violence in their ever so popular GTA games and now the perfect opportunity arises to drag them into some federal investigation and rain on their parade, how can they resist?
I'm reminded of the unused code in KOTOR2, specifically detailing a more dramatic ending than what was used in the game. Modders are trying to fix that as well.
As many of the other peeps on this board (and across the internet) have said I just can't believe that they overlook the core elements of the game and focus solely on the modded in sex scenes. Fucking crusaders in washington...
I really hope this lawsuit gets thrown out. Unfortunatelly I doubt it will leave public attention as the media loves creating [strike]controversy[/strike] lies and deception.
