[Britboy]

I just bought it at gogamer for $49.50. They are selling it on ebay for $6X!

"Rockstar Games to cease manufacture of current version of title and offer a downloadable patch to prevent modification of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for PC"

Wait, does Rockstar actually know how computers work?

 

[Auryg]

Doubt it. There'll probably outsource, and then that person will create even more problems.

Im still waiting for the patch to fix the games bugs, now I bet thats on hold. They can rush to make a patch to stop a mod but not to make the game work properly. Bastards.

While I agree the whole debacle is retard, it starts with Rockstars stupidity....

Edit: and yes its MUCH different than mods for SIMS etc. The content was 100% created by RS... not a 3rd party. They made it, included it and didn't disclose it.

How is it different? In the sims, sims have sex. You need to unlock a patch to make it nude.

For SA, you NEED a patch to make the sex scenes. Yes, in SA it was actually coded in, but that's like saying we should outlaw guns because you can kill people with them. Or heck, TV's shouldn't be sold to minors because porn can be viewed on them!

Guns are outlawed for minors. Porn channels are scrambled to keep kids from viewing.

RockStar knew this unlockable sex scene would be hard-coded into the PC and PS2 versions - they did NOT bother to tell the ERSB about it . . . THAT's the "problem".
:thumbsdown:

What a stupid "Easter Egg" idea . . . somebody's getting fired at RockStar.
[justifyably]

Does that mean that this quote from the press release is false?

The scenes depicted in the "hot coffee" modification are not playable in the retail version of the game unless the user downloads and/or installs unauthorized software that alters the content of the original retail version of the title, representing a violation of Take-Two and Rockstar's end user license agreement (EULA) and intellectual property rights. "We are deeply concerned that the publicity surrounding these unauthorized modifications has caused the game to be misrepresented to the public and has detracted from the creative merits of this award winning product," said Mr. Eibeler. Take-Two is exploring its legal options as it relates to companies that profited from creating and distributing tools for altering the content of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

WHICH press release was this?

RockStar DENIED [on multiple occasions] they has ANYTHING to do with this content - until it was PROVED they LIED.
:roll:

It's a D4MN shame that a biological function such as sex has been associated with guns and violence. America needs to stop being such fvckin prudes. Politicians need to address real issues such as dwindling fuel supplies, famine, and the utter lack of world peace. Not to turn this into a religious debate, but that's the only thing I can see as the cause of so many problems. I don't know much about political agendas, but politics has become the very opposite of an enlightened institution.

Screw them all.

Agreed 100%.

Tell me how that press release is false. Everything they said is true. You need to alter game code to make the scenes accessible.

doesnt exposing this on the news just make every teenage kid go and dowload the mod. I do think it is a bit excessive to crack down on something thats not part of the game and must be unlocked with a mod. Plus far more kids are looking up porn on the internet then downloading this.
