She didn't mind the violence, misogyny, mayhem, celebration of theft, but the sex was just too much!
"Take Two Interactive initially said the scenes were not part of the retail version of the game but later admitted they were. "
This admission will cost them.
Nope, sorry, she doesn't have a leg to stand on.
She bought a game intended for 17 and over for a 14 year-old. But when things that are in a game that's intended for an 18 year-old showed up, she wanted to sue.
Hmmmmm. Anyone see the logic here?
The only logic I see is a lady (and most likely an ambulance-chasing lawyer) who sees dollar signs and wants an instant payday.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
Just add 'games companies' to the corporate hate list of the left - oil companies, tobacco companies, arms companies, drug compamies, cosmetic companies....
I doubt it's real sex - it's probably just porn...
The ratings are basically token, my 12 yr old son has played and demod many that were rated M, no big deal, its not worse than whats on prime time tv these days.
That said, he is not allowed to play or demo this one and I have explained why and what is reportedly on it. I also do not allow him around YuGiO as I view that as kiddie tarot cards and explained to him the consistencies.
Sometimes being a parent you have to make decisions that may not be consistent but explaining the reasons teaches the kids prudence. Its not always simple.
I'm with the parent on this one. The game guy went too far.
Naturally, the content of the hidden backrooms is not described.
Here we go. We really need a loser pays legal system. What the f%$k did she think she was buying?
If the game had put a label on it like todays cd's do that might have prevented the complaints.
A giant M 17+ on the box and after the fact she complains it's not appropriate for her 14 year old. Clearly she's an idiot.
Game is marked 17+ if this isn't thrown out of court I'll be suprised. (Well, probably not suprised but certainly disgusted)
As if the rhythmically-rocking car with the hooker in it (with moaning for those that don't get the visual cue), the bedroom dialog from the "cold coffee" (complete with subtitles for the "dense"), drug-running, wanton-killing complete with bloody beheadings and de-limbings, and carjacking (it is Grand Theft Auto, after all) were appropriate content for 14-year-olds. The old "M for Mature" warning sticker says "Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs" (emphasis added).
Further, it's the PS2 version the grandma and her money-grubbing lawyer are suing over, where all one needs is an Action Replay device and the necessary codes to get the "Hot Coffee" content (no downloads necessary, and NO way for Rockstar to stop it through a patch).
It's nice to see that Congress has fixed every other problem in the country and can now go after pixel nudity.
Why can't it just be enough for them to remove the games and ship new ones with the scenes taken out? No money for the lawyers that's why.
"I didn't know it had ~sex~ in it, I thought it was just about stealing cars and running from the cops and killing people!"
Video game ping!
(Lotsa stuff today)
