Dude, that hid sex acts in the software code - they deserve what they get. For market forces to work we need to punish them for this.

I believe they were nuts in doing it, lied about it then, acknowledge it.

They are low-lifes and we need them out of the industry.

Aah... it's 12 year old pre-pubescent stuff. I think the game is perfect for 13 year old boys who are feelin' it but can't do it yet. It's cartoon violence, cartoon sex, and I understand it isn't even very tittillating. People ought to just pop a chilly.

Ha ha. Good luck. All it's doing is making the game that much more popular.

Besides, wanting the "market forces to work" should mean letting the buyer decide what they want, not punishing the company.

Add Sims 2 to your list as well as any other 3d game.

All it takes is figuring out which file holds the "Skins" or the 3d object and replacing it with one without clothes on for instance.

Which were inaccessible unless you download a patch off the Internet. And if you have unrestricted net access, there's much better porn you could get instead.

Remember, we're talking about a game that lets you pay hookers for sex, then kill them and get your money back. Apparently that's ok, but a pixelated nipple shown during consensual sex is an abomination.

Are you kidding us? Programmers combined video game industry and the adult entertainment industry, they will probably have their choice of primo coding jobs for the next deace at least. Any publicity is good publicity in the entertainment industry. Tipper Gore has proven this how many times?

It wasn't put into the code, it was an unauthorized 3rd party add on.

None of the sexually explicit material mentioned was in the retail version of the game.

I dont see how hackers could have inserted code into the discs they marketed.

Rockstar has some shady people working there... Kind of like Girls Gone Wild.
