RockStar Speaks
JamesO writes "The alleged sex mini-game on the GTA San Andreas game disc, unlocked using the "Hot Coffee" mod, has been the news story of the week. Several investigations are now underway to determine if the allegations are true. Having kept pretty quiet on this issue, Rockstar has issued a statement clarifying their situation. Meanwhile, in Britain, GTA San Andreas was released with a BBFC rating of 18 in the UK, which makes it illegal to sell the game to anyone under the age of 18. The BBFC has stated that, as a result it does not feel they need to take any action, even if the sex mini game claims are found to be true. Such content would not require the game to be reclassified as it would in other territories where the game had not received a strict adult only rating."
So how is this little sex scene between two animated figures all that different from the sex scence between two puppets in Team America? Didn't that game get the equivilant of an "M" rating? It really does seem like idiots who don't know how to raise their kids properly have it out for GTA.
America... fuck yeah. That county, along with any other that blames every little thing on GTA without taking the resposibility on other social issues (the widespread use of guns and how so many people have one to begin with) needs to re-think their social values.
Why do people care over a fully clothed sex game?
I mean, GTA:Vice City had a strip bar you could purchase, where one objective of the game was to spend 30 minutes staring at a badly animated nude dancer. Totally nude, no pixelation, from all angles. Spend 30 minutes in there, and you unlocked the maximum potential of the strip club and got the most money from it.
I put my character in there, and walked the dog.... it wasn't worth watching. Neither is the "hot coffee" mod. Kids see more realistic flesh watching Baywatch on TV, than in a Rockstar game.
