Compensation offered for Hot Coffee News

lol?

This is just so incredibly silly...

More hot coffee please!

I assume Ellie is being facetious about this or EG is going down the Daily Mail route.

Also this is stupid.

I was so upset by this.

Can I have the $1 million dollars now please, to make me happy all over again?

In there any compensation offered for those offended by this compensation offer?

what. the. feck.

The Amercans that frequent this place must realise the stupidity of this whole thing.

classactionlol

So, in other words, GTA gamers, mostly males in their late teens, are willing to testify under oath that they were truly offended and upset by some silly sex mini-games and people will believe them? Please don't insult my intelligence...

"I assume Ellie is being facetious..."

LOL!

Personally, I was *sooo* offended by this whole hot coffee thing that I think I will need the entire million just to appease me. Come on R* ;) What's another million, eh?

JonFE...it IS America

I love the way it implies only Americans are ever insulted by this by "if you're American". Just because europe has a lot of nudist beaches doesn't mean we don't get offended either.

I'm just saying this cause they money would come in handy :)

Why do we need $35? That's fuck all for us

Offended by content most of them probably never even had access to in the first place, and those that did, must have known what they were doing and letting themselves in for?

Yeah, okay...

Oh, from the first few lines I assumed that they'd turned it into a competition of who can sound the most offended :)

How stupid, why are Europe left out in this? I want some damn money!

Like anyone was offended by the Hot Coffee thing, it looked a complete joke to me and American's aren't 'serious', are they?

@DSKUK - It's all about the rating. San Andreas had an 18 rating over here in Europe already, so it was rated appropriately. In the USA the game was rated "Mature" (16+) because violence is absolutely fine in America. However when they found out that you could hack the content to allow access to nudity and explicit content they were all offended for some reason!

USA - The land where it is OK for a 16 year old to watch a clothed female breast being chopped to bits by a sadistic axe murderer(provided it is clothed) but may not see that same breast uncovered and fondled by a loving partner...

No wonder everyone over there is so screwed up o_O

FIXED :)

I'm offended that I never got to see it frankly. Will I get some money?

The other night, I switched on my TV and saw a mild, 1980s action-movie sex scene. I was shocked, dismayed, upset and offended.

I demand financial renumeration. Clearly.

Rockstar need to spit on every replacement copy. These people are pathetic.

The contents of America offend me. Can I have some cash please?

I'll give some compensation to Rockstar and buy the special edition of GTA4. Ridiculous friggen situation...

so you download a mod to access this and then cry about...............WHAT THE FUCK............This is why americans have such a bad reputation with the rest of the world..............FUCKING IDIOTS..............Sorry

This is just stupid on so many levels. Oh well, at least some teenages can get the money for another preowned game. And it's not like Rockstar couldn't afford it.

The US is so stupid that someday it will accidentially step over the edge of the Earth and disappear forever.

Hopefully.

What the f#$@ck?? You had to install the mod yourself!

@Freek - Yup.

Altho, I do think that some parents will feel justified in their claim i.e. They bought the game for their child because they thought it was full of fluffy unicorns and stuff, then were highly annoyed to find out that their child could actually have sex in the game!! Of course, the fact that their child was running around killing cops and stealing cars was absolutely fine... BUT HOW DARE THEY HAVE SEX!!!

/end rant

Justicelol

Seriously though, the fact that you had to download the mod yourself means you will have made a conscious choice to view the Hot Coffee content. So to make that choice and then say you're offended by it is just plain stupid. Also, the fact that this whole thing is about sex, the one thing in the game that's actually legal, is just laughable.

BUT HOW DARE THEY HAVE SEX!!!

I dunno, it seems like the right track to me, guns and violence can only reduce the number of Americans whereas sex could dangerously increase the number of Americans.

lol I made a funny racist joke.

I'd rather sell the hot coffee version which is worth a lot lot more.

@LOLLERS:

LOL! :)

I ... but ... this ... corwhumph!

xD Hilariously ridiculous, no less!

"What the f#$@ck?? You had to install the mod yourself!"

No you didn't, and it wasn't a mod. The content was on the disc, which is why it was able to be unlocked (not modded) on the console versions.

Rockstar have no one to blame but themselves for the laughable way this has finished up.

I am American. And I am gravely offended by the whole Hot Topic affair. Specifically, that as a Mac user who owns an unmodded Xbox I had no way to unlock this Hot Coffee.

From the stories I saw on the news, Hot Coffee was being served up to everyone who just looked at the game...why didn't I get any hot coffee? I didn't even get any lukewarm coffee.

I want money in return for my missing out on coffee. Can I get double money because I wasn't able to access the coffee in order to be extra offended? Can I still get money considering that I, like most gamers, am older 21 and therefore would have been able to watch the content anyway? Wait...can I get money for being offended by my government? Oh...they are already trying that with the stimulus package (read: bribe). Hm...can I get money for being offended that the station that plays Eastenders here in Los Angeles is something like 4 years behind Britain? I mean, Zoe hasn't even left the square yet...I know she does eventually because here she is on the Bionic Woman. Phil just found out Louise is his daughter...that's how far behind I am. I'm offended! Give me thirty bucks!

I'm also offended that I had a hard time understanding really think Liverpudlian accents while I was visiting there. I was at a pub and didn't realize the woman behind the bar was asking me if I wanted ice in my Coke...and that caused me emotional suffering. Can I get 30 Euros for that from Liverpool?

What about the fact that it has been raining recently here in Los Angeles. There was this song that said it never rains in southern california, and I moved here with that understanding...and now it's raining...that is some sort of breach of contract...I want $30 for that too.

Check out the wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Coffee_...

While the hot coffee content was on the game originally, it had been disabled and the only way to access that content was through a mod that allowed you to hack the code of the game (which is violating EULA). You couldn't access hot coffee without breaking your EULA, if you had the PC version downloading a mod with allowed you to hack the code to access the disabled hot coffee, or if you had a console version, have a mod/hardware combo (which isn't available for Macs) which would then allow you to perform the hack.

Hot Coffee was not an Easter Egg you could unlock with a few button presses. It was completely disabled content that one could only access by using a mod to illegally modify the source code. I don't think Rockstar's the bad guy on this one.
