Let's assume they were negligent and forgot what they left on the disk. If that's the case, it's made worse by the fact that both ports (which came out more than half a year later!) _still_ included it.
For me, the deciding factor (regardless of whether the kind of fully clothed content is harmful or not) is if someone actively went and modified the mini-game content while the Xbox and PC versions were being ported. Did anyone touch the code or QA it to make sure it still works?
After all, Congress wants to see if Rockstar circumvened a self-regulating policy. Nobody's talking abour federally legislating the games industry (yet, anyway).
And stop talking about how the game has violenence and that seems to be okay. It's okay! The government isn't complaining about that either, so shut up about it already!

Based on their status page, their North American servers aren't even half maxed out right now.
Alas, not completely.
