freaking! I'm in Germany right now.. on my host families computer and they have this Zango snot on their comp I mean... I took a tid-bit of a look at it to see what it was... but I can't understand German that well so I didn't know what it said but I kinda got the idea that it was some pretty shifty stuff when it started popping up IE windows of disgust and ads
now i know it's crap! I'm going to try and explain this article to my host family and get to the bottom of why this scheiße is on this machine!
well... that's still mucking with the files if you ask me...
it's only one file but even then... it's not part of the licence you buy
although he had to change only one bit to view the content, It's still modifying the files... and also making any complaints about something he did to the game... it's just...
exactly
some people are missing the whole point of... Rockstar didn't do anything wrong.
The content was there... access to it wasn't...
You buy the game with a licence to play it the way it was made...
Getting patches and Mods that change how the game is played... that's out of the hands of the publisher and the creator
if I released a game for children... and put a bunch of voice clips of me swearing randomly... but I made it so that the clips could never be witnessed in the game
but then some smarty pants who has nothing better to do than to mod little kid games made it so that every time the character jumped... it would play one of the swearing clips... at random... and called it Mr. Fluffy Bunny Tourette Syndrome mod
could any one sue me if little children found this patch?
according to Law... No...
According to public demand... sure, why not...
I make games... I should know better
right?
I rarely feel bad for a company.. infact... I've never felt bad for anything otehr than a person or animal in my whole life
but I feel bad that Rockstar had to put up with this...
you're totally right, Mr. Earl. This is not the "'Hot Coffee' Scandal" that everyone says it is It was originally called the Hot Coffee mod... meaning that the kid actually had to go into the game and muck with the files thus exiting the Licence agreement that he made when his Grandma purchased the game and gave it to him
