$2.75 million settlement for Hot-coffee
November 12th 2007 11:41
I almost forgot about the whole mess revolving around GTA: San Andreas and the 'Hot-Coffee' mod which created such an outburst in the gaming industry...but finally a settlement have been made. Take-Two the publisher of one of the greatest selling games of all time, will be paying out up to $2.75 million in reimbursements for those 'affected' by this title. It sounds hilarious but it’s a fact, with owners of the title able to receive $35 to compensate them for the 'spoiled' version of the title they have and replace it with an edited version.
Customers of course will have to show a receipt of purchase and 'swear' to a whole list of items which show how they are affected. See the Megagames link for a full list of details regarding this list. This whole story to me is quite silly, since owners of the title need to use special codes and patches to get the 'hot-coffee' scenario working. For those who don't know what the 'hot-coffee' mod is, it opens up a adult minigame where players can perform explicit acts on a female character.
On the bright side, Take-Two is taking an initiative and showing that they are responsible for their actions and will show respect to the gaming industry by offering this settlement. Let’s just hope they continue to make quality games that are not too toned down for mature gamers!
