Take Two Shareholders to sue over Hot Coffee

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the controversy-is-good-fo-business dept.

casualsax3 writes "Take Two, the publisher of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, is facing more legal action over the game. Separately, two law firms have filed class-action lawsuits on behalf of shareholders who they say lost money due to the controversy about the game. This comes right on the heels of news that the Sex Workers Outreach Program is calling for a boycott of the game."

    So please explain why this game, above others, in it's unmodded retail form, upsets prostitutes and shareholders?

    Because prostitutes and shareholders will do anything for a quick buck.

    If this keeps up, Take-Two is going to be sued by politicians next.
