Hot Coffee settlement site percolating

Didn't the original game come out as a Rated M for Mature and it was for teens 17 and up?

Actually i advocate everybody cashing in on this. If we take enough then maybe we can reform frivolous lawsuits like this.

Does this just seem to highlight how the American media and legal system is run by neo-conservatives with a disgraceful sense of inappropriate content. "It's OK for my 15 year old son to walk up to a stranger in the street in a game and shoot them with a shot gun, but you shouldn't be watching simulated sex in a game. There's a good boy, you continue with the violence". Sorry, this just screams STUPIDITY to me.

no they left an half finish sex minigame in the game's cutting room where noone had access to it. It wasn't apart of the finish product. It was the darn mod community that dig into the game and made software and hardware to access it. lets get our fact straight and the fact that they gave some lawyer in a class action suit any money is astounding.

thers no way in hell i would return my hot coffee version of GTA:sa. people who are offended are sad. most people who sign up will only get 5 dollars. i blow my nose with 5 dollars. its not enough money for anyone to waste there time with. any one who sign up for this is not a true gamer. i hope gta 4 has a sex scene also. damn PTA parents.

Wow, I don't what's stupider, this insane law system or division_9

It's not silly at all. They put a sex minigame in and rate it for 18 year olds and you guys say its unfair and ridiculous?. I'll tell you who's being ridiculous its you!. they pretty much had it coming when they decided to have a sex minigame shoved in and sell it to 18 year olds cybernerds. @smc_sewer The only normal people left are U.S. gamers?. What kind of world do you live in?. If there are any bad gamers in the world its americans. American "Gamers" are generally ignorant,arrogant,self centered,greedy,uncaring,disrespectful,stupid,useless,wasteful,obese,lazy, septimistic,emo-ic,crazy,boring and just plain weird. They are the very icon of the typical nerd!. Being normal is basically being a weirdo because no one's perfectly normal in the first place!!.

This is plain silly, buy the game and take your own responsability for your own actions.

I'm offended YES! i'm offended that no country will allow an AO rating for games. I'm offended that censor boards for each country are two faced and dont turn around and ban all any other material that kids will and do get hold of. Whats the world coming to ? it's full of idiots and it looks like us gamers are the only normal people left.

damn the world, take two doesn't deserve this.

dam i thought about doin iut but $17 aint enugh

This is just ridiculous.

okay, so you love the game and then you're cheating the company out of money from a case the shouldn't have lost... i'm with you on that massuht... i pity you people claiming money!

I love this game but I am going to get a free 35 bucks woohoo I got the game free

hey i still got my hot cofie copie as well no thanks when you buy a game thats rated 17 and up be ready for the worst and wtf i can kill a cop with a **** but nooo sex is bad killing is good people like this is what is wrong with the world

damn i think i threw out my receipt last year after i found it in the game case

I honestly think that ANYONE who believes T2 should be sued deserves to burn. Since when was non-graphic sex WORSE than bloody massacre of police officers??? (not that I'm against that).

What a load! Screw this stupid settlement and every lying jerk who takes advantage of it for a few dollars. It's too bad they couldn't ban anyone who collects on this from playing GTA4. I bet that would eliminate at least ninety-five percent of the payouts. Pretty sad that people aren't more loyal and would rather have a pathetic 35 dollars than show support to a company that makes such great games.

wow this retarded

what i find more annoying than anything is how exactly rockstar ended up losing the hot coffee case in the first place. it took a user modification to access the content! it just seems like maybe they should make some changes to their legal department ...

I'll take that $35 and preorder GTAIV with it.

Shoot a cop in the head watch blood splirt out ,no problem, watch people have sex we gotta problem chuck.

This is test message.

@ 10054254 LMAO, damn straight there were some sex scenes in that game, but it's from Europe, I suppose it's legit there.

I think ill hold on to my copy thank you, then stick it on ebay in a few years. Can i complain about fahrenheit? it had an interactive sex scene in it....infact 2 of them. So can i get money from them?

Oh hell yeah. I've got a "Hot Coffee" copy. Looks like I was shocked and offended by the content. It's only $35, but damn. Who am I to say no to free money?

If I was dihonorable I'd pretend I was offended and take the cash then I'd at least try to do some good with it like maybe donate it to a local charity cause it would benefit somebody else who needed the cash instead of me

i really dont think its children who are offended...i bet 99.8% of those were parents who probably came in the door catching some of them....ummm playing with their joysticks. but seriously, its M-rated! you know...as in MATURE. a little common sense is all it takes

Is there a place where people offended by the lawsuit can get cash?

jk by the way lol. Rockstar rules i wouldnt do that, but still isnt this all just a bit rediculus? a toal of 1 million dollars to be spent for this sh*t? no wonder our planet is so F*cked up. take this money and give it to a good cause or go feed some starving children who actually NEED help. hell if this money was donated to a worthwhile cause im sure all the "upset" consumers(who downloaded the mod itself. . . obviously wanted to see this content in the first place) would forgive and forget. unless they want they're 35 dollars or less. then in that case, you're damning yourself to eternal hell-fire

That's ridiculous. People will just swear (and lie) for free cash. It's kind of sad that people would be offended by the hot coffee anyway. The people that play GTA are supposed to be old enough to handle sex, violence etc. Stupid. R* shouldn't have to do anything but issue a simple apology.

time to get my 5 bucks for doin nothin! "I SWEAR"

Isn't this drama finished yet?

In order to claim the benefits, customers will have to swear that they bought a copy of the game before July 20, 2005 (the day San Andreas was rated AO for Adults Only by the Entertainment Software Rating Board), and were "offended and upset by the ability of consumers to modify and alter the game's content" with the mod. They also have to swear that they wouldn't have purchased the game if they'd known about the mod, and would have returned the game upon learning of the mod if they thought they could. I think the only ones who would complain are parents that were stupid enough to buy this for their kids or people who just want to get some money.

Hmm, you don't want the content, don't download the modification... Then you won't have this "offensive material." Then all you have left is one of the greatest games ever made. This case should have been over years ago.

I would go for the easy cash, but my morals forbid it. I don't want to pillage Rockstar, they make so many good games! It would be like pirating Shadow of the Colossus, or not paying the American writers royalties on online distribution.

i'm gonna see if i can pocket me an extra $10 lol

It's pretty unreal they're offended at consensual relationships and not the running over of prostitutes which was actually offensive. "and I'm pretty sure people buy porno these days so I don't get the idea here." They used to pay for it, now they download it. You've got it all backwards. Youths today!

Like saying: "The judicial system will allow Rockstar to be robbed and all of you who want a piece, please stick your hands into the open wallet"

Why should Rockstar have to pay these morons back for a third party MOD that THEY DOWNLOADED....It wasn't like Rockstar ambushed them in the parking lot and forced a computer on them with the sex mini game on the screen and made them play it. They downloaded it for one reason...because there virgins who's donkeys have never been wet.

If anyone was actually offend from that needs to get into the real world.

Anyone willing to accept money for being offended by a mod in a GTA game... there should be a website with their pictures on it for our protection (from stupidity)

Thats silly Rockstar owe me NOTHING in fact i should still be paying them

stiilllll the best game

Shocking.

@pumkinboodie yeah our society IS that retarded. what gets me is the time and money paid for researching the accusations, the $ paid for the lawyers and the fact that our tax dollars went to such stupidity..... freedom now takes a backseat to "not offending people". sick sad isht

Wow...just wow, never thought you could actually get paid in settlement for offensive content in a median that was never really meant to be seen in the first place (only was viewable help from a mod)? Hmm....isn't our legal system AMAZING?!.....:roll: ....or is human society just that stupid? Nevermind, don't answer that....I get the strange feeling I already know the answer.

this is almost dumber than the lady that tripped and broke her leg on the CITY sidewalk and sued the bank, who didnt do anything at all, it isnt even their sidewalk!

In all honesty, who in their right mind was offended by it, lol. Why would I want to give up the Hot coffee mod?, Its my whole reason for owning san andreas.
