hey, didn’t gta san andreas have a controversy over a goddamn sex minigame that people can access by mods? isn’t thompson behind that too?
The “sex minigame” in GTA San Andreas (known as “hot coffee” or “the hot coffee mod”) was content that had been patched out of the video game before its commercial release
This content was later found and restored by modders, which is what started the controversy, as media pundits and puritans decided that patched out inaccessible content should nevertheless impact the rating of the game.
Here’s what Jack Thompson had to say about it when asked by a video game news outlet at the time:
“Rockstar is on the fast track to corporate destruction, all because they have decided to play chicken with the federal government,” said Mr Thompson.
He went on to say that “Take-Two, Rockstar’s parent, had to pay $9 million last month because of fraudulent accounting practices. They are a company that routinely violate rules of decency and common sense.”
He concluded by taking one final swing at Rockstar: “Take a good look at Rockstar. They won’t be around in three years.”
