LA Attorney Sues Rockstar Over Hot Coffee

Posted by Zonk on Friday January 27, 2006 @03:17AM from the you-knew-it-was-coming dept.

Next Generation reports that the L.A. city attorney has filed suit against Rockstar, for a misleading ad campaign and 'unfair competition'. The suit was prompted because of the much publicized 'Hot Cofee' mod discovered last year. From the article: "'Businesses have an obligation to truthfully disclose the content of their products - whether in the food we eat or the entertainment we consume,' Delgadillo said. The lawsuit is actually part of a wider effort to investigate the marketing of videogames."

> Delgadillo [...] has requested that the companies fully disclose the content of their games.

Doesn't that sound strangely like "There may be no surprises in any game, we must know exactly what's going to happen before it happens?"
