Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod

Posted by Zonk on from the you-so-stupid dept.

Bond_James writes "Ars Technica is reporting that an 85-year old New York woman has filed a civil suit against Rockstar Games and Take-Two Interactive. She alleges that the defendants 'engaged in misleading and deceptive practices in packaging and selling' the game, which she purchased for her 14-year old grandson. This will be interesting, and scary, to watch unfold in the courtrooms. Will the M (17+) rating of the game save Rockstar?"

    1. Grandma buys adult game for minor
    2. Grandma sues industry
    3. Court throws case out
    4. Precedent is set and fewer people try to do the same

    Don't get me wrong ... I think the woman is a total bitch trying to cash in on something that had nothing to do with her ... but here's hoping all she ends up with are steep legal fees as she wastes the court's time, and steps closer and closer to her coffin
