Thursday, July 28. 2005I'll see your "litigious" and raise you "moronic".
Okay to be fair, I've thought all along that the stink raised over the HotCoffeeMod was always a little idiotic, if only because the game should have been rated Adult's Only in the first place, and was pretty bad before the mini game was found.
Now comes the news that an 85 year old woman has sued Rockstar Games for damage caused to her because she claims that she was "damaged" when she discovered that the the rated M for Mature audiences game she purchased for her grandson had sexual minigames. At the time the game was purchased, the grandson was 14 years of age. Nevermind the fact that on the case of the game it already stated "Strong Sexual Content" prior to the increase in rating. What the heck was she doing buying a game rated for 17 year olds and higher, to her 14 year old grandson in the first place? If everyone is so worried about the content in the games that kids are playing, maybe they should look less at the developers and more at the people who are buying or letting the kids play these games. As bad of a game as GTA:San Andreas is, in this case at least, it would seem to me that the problem is the Grandma herself. Then again, since the Grandma is getting on in years she probably saw this as a quick way to make a couple bucks for an inheritance for the aforementioned grandson! Trackbacks
