Hot Coffee Mod Lawsuit for GTA has Little Support

GTA San Andreas Hot Coffee Mod

GTA: San Andreas has sold somewhere near 10 million copies. The locked extra content of the “Hot Coffee” mission where a cheat code could unlock a mission where you banged your virtual girlfriend was the focal point of a class action suit against Take Two. They wanted to claim damages that this content should have been disclosed. Here is a shocker, no one gives a shit. Less than 2700 gamers filed with the suit.

“Am I disappointed? Sure,” said Seth Lesser, lead lawyer for the plaintiffs, reports the New York Times. “We can’t guess as to why now, several years later, people care or don’t care. The merits of the case were clear.”

Take Two will have to shell out about 30k to gamers and will make a 800k donation to charity. They made that in about 3 minutes when GTA IV came out. This is another case of overzealous lawyers trying to capitalize on a growing medium that may have had a hiccup. The problem here? Gamers tend to side with gaming companies when content is involved. Its only a matter of time before everyone who bought Haze is going to sue for a full refund.
