Lawyers/human weasels: "No one cared about Hot Coffee"

[CptStern]

Lawyers who sued the makers of the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas profess to be shocked, simply shocked, that few people who bought the game were offended by sex scenes buried in its software.

Any buyer upset about hidden sex in the violent game could file a claim under a settlement the lawyers struck with the game?s makers, Rockstar Games and its corporate parent, Take-Two Interactive. Of the millions of people who bought the San Andreas version after its release in 2004, exactly 2,676 filed claims.

good thing they spent all that time/money/resources nailing Take Two/Rockstar when no one actually gives a shit

?Am I disappointed? Sure? said Seth R. Lesser, lead lawyer for the plaintiffs. ?We can?t guess as to why now, several years later, people care or don?t care. The merits of the case were clear.?

weasel saw dollar signs:

Far bigger than the payout to plaintiffs will be the fees sought by the lawyers who brought the class action. Mr. Lesser and his colleagues at 10 other law firms have asked for more than $1.3 million ? compared with less than $30,000 that Take-Two Interactive?s lawyers say it will spend to resolve the claims for $5 to $35 each (and, sometimes, a sanitized copy of the game).

the real problem? the uninformed public

?I?m aware that there is killing in the game,? Ms. Stanhouse said in the deposition. ?I wasn?t aware of the stealing.?

idiot

I don't know why the age rating was put up. You had to "DOWNLOAD" the mod. I don't know how a kid will get a hold of the mod let alone install it.

hmm it's a Mature rated game, with gang elements, drug use, profanity, revolves around stealing cars by any means necessary - and is rewarded for driving over other civilians so you can take their money, killing policemen and other government employed soldiers, and making an escape by running over everyone in your way and driving like a total maniac destroying everything in your path while shooting old ladies and fellow peers with a fully automatic weapon hanging out the drivers side window so you can deliver a hooker to the strip in time to make some money for you....

I'll stop there because I don't feel like punctuating

Who knew there would be a nipple! JESUS CHRIST A NIPPLE!!! HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT EVERYONE HAD ONE OR TWO

 

[Beerdude26]

The textures were so blurry you probably couldn't even see the nipples lol

THIS, a milion times this. It's amature rated game, meaning it's not intended for little kiddies to play anyway. So it's not the developers fault if the parents or the people selling the games don't give a ****.
