And in the process, the game's value has skyrocketed.

The already-in-existence games prices are soaring, but retailers are pulling GTA off the shelves, so Rockstar's revenues will be hurt. I'll bet whoever is responsible for that hidden level is being flogged about now.

Hilllary is barking up the wrong tree if she thinks she can stop this. What I think will probably happen is that, given the notoriety that this has generated, modders will construct their own sex levels entirely independent of the original game, the way Half Life Counterstrike originated.

The already-in-existence games prices are soaring, but retailers are pulling GTA off the shelves, so Rockstar's revenues will be hurt.

Rockstar's already lowered their revenue projections due to the game being pulled off shelves, their suddenly useless inventory, and the costs of re-manufacturing a new version of the game without the hidden code. Retailers are hurt by this as well, since they refuse to sell AO-rated games, which GTA SA now is.

In her attempt to appear conservative and morally responsible, Hillary's just sucked a few million dollars out of the economy.
