Rockstar Reaches Hot Coffee Settlement
Rockstar Games has now managed to reach a settlement over the infamous "Hot Coffee" dispute which allowed gamers to unlock explicit content in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Customers who still have the original disk and a detailed store receipt can claim up to $35 in compensation, and those with just the disk but no receipt will still be able to claim $5.
Defendants do not dispute that the parts that were modified and combined to display the Hot Coffee content were present in the code of the game discs. However, Defendants vigorously deny each and every allegation of improper conduct, and they deny all liability. The notice and other settlement documents provide information about the lawsuit, the settlement, your legal rights, what benefits are available, who is eligible for them, and how to get them.

I'm so perverse that I bother to install something like Hot Coffee, and I also don't personally thing Rockstar should be blamed for people hacking the game. It's like Someone hacking their copy of Windows only to find that they've opened up a backdoor that lets their computer be exploited and then trying to sue M$.
They should friggin' ban Barbie dolls and GI-Joe's because they can turn into sex toys if inserted into the various orifices of the human body!!! Hope no money-hungry lawyer reads this and sues Mattel or whatever... If by any chance any of them read this, I want 50%! :p
They should blame the ratings company who make crappy forms to be filled instead of testing the game!
THAT'S how you get your game rated today: BY FILLING A FORM! So 19th century... (they might do some "testing" like checking the box and manual for nipples!)

I think this is goes in the wtf files for me... Like I'm going to spend time to go on line and find out when i bought that game, and what!?! I know it was the day before it came out, but i bought it few months before... so that leaves a lot to look into... now, if I'd only go through everything like they ask to get money and I'd be rich... Get a few every few months saying that I qualify for this or that settlement.. A load of bs...
IMO
