If he got Howard Stern fined $500,000... then the guy is alright in my book.

Oh.. Wait..

You mean.. *THAT JACK THOMPSON!*

Holy crud! I take back what my first post said about him! Stupid, stupid, left wing morons who blame violence on videogames. Idiot! Violence has gone down while game popularity has gone up. Fact.

Argh. I think I'm going to boycott Rockstar for incurring the wrath of the politicitians again.

The Hot Coffee mod was cool. Hillary Clinton should mind her own business. She's leaning too far toward the right in her worrying about everyone else. It is a parent's decision whther to buy the game, if they do, it's their fault.

Rock Star makes what they want. The polititans just want to complain because they don't want freedom of speech for the video game comapanies.

I defend Rockstar's freedom to make whatever videogame they want. What angers me is that instead of deleteing the code like smart little people, they buried it and let hackers find it, which led to the ESRB re-rating the game and this whole new crusade against videogames.

If they had just said upfront there was a sex minigame or deleted it, this wouldn't be a problem.

But, of course, as always, they love to hide the smallest of details in their games, which makes them so damn cool!

Did Rockstar Games know this was in there when they released it, or was it put in there by some programmer/group of programmers and the rest of the company had no idea? I didn't follow the whole GTA conterversy too closely, but personally I'm not sure that it isn't really something they could of helped and therefore something you could even blame them for, but the actions of an individual programmer. Sure, the company is still responsible, though. But my point is, did the company know this was in it, or was it a suprise to them as well?
