Gamemaker Sued Over Hidden "Sex" in GTA- San Andreas

For some reason, I knew this was going to happen:

"NEW YORK - A woman upset that she bought the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for her 14-year-old grandson without knowing it contained hidden, sexually explicit scenes sued the manufacturer Wednesday on behalf of consumers nationwide.

Florence Cohen, 85, of New York, said in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that the games manufacturer, Rockstar Games, and its parent company, New York-based Take Two Interactive Software Inc., engaged in false, misleading and deceptive practices.

She sought unspecified damages on behalf of herself and all consumers nationwide, saying the company should give up its profits from the game for what amounted to false advertising, consumer deception and unfair business practices."

Lets see, some grandma buys her 14 year old grandson a Grand Theft Auto video game. She sees the controversy and thinks "$$$$$".

I also like the "engaged in false, misleading and deceptive pratices" part.

She bought a game named after a FELONY for petes sake! What did she expect, Barney dancing with the oompa-lumpa's?

A short overview of what she bought (for her 14 year old grandson):

Grand Theft Auto is a game that gives the player's character points (in the form of cash, which can be spent in a variety of ways) for killing people, stealing cars (hence, Grand Theft Auto), doing jobs for gangs and contains lots of violence and some sexual scenes. What has everyone freaked out about this specific addition to the GTA series is that apparently a part of the game code contained a fragment that the development team thought was removed. When a specific "patch" was downloaded from the Internet, a scene of the player's character having sex with his girlfriend was unlocked and viewable.

Due to this fragment, the rating by the ESOB was changed from the original "M" for "Mature" to "AO" for "Adults Only". Most large chain stores (Walmart, Best Buy, Kmart etc) refuse to stock games rated "AO", so to avoid losing the money from not being able to sell their game, Rockstar and Take2 (the makers of the GTA series) are shipping new "sanitized" versions of GTA: San Andreas and have apologized for not finding the fragment of code.

But watch and see, if this case goes through you'll see more "lawsuits on the behalf of consumers everywhere". How many lawsuits can Rockstar and Take2 take? If they go under, it'll send a signal to everyone in the video game industry that you have to abide by granny's standards.
