Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in trouble over reported adult content
A media watchdog group Entertainment Software Ratings Board has denounced the makers of the very popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for reported hidden adult content, which can be unlocked by downloading a key from the Internet. The violent concept of the game is already despised by many people around and this latest news gives them a new reason to condemn the game developers.
Reports say that the game only becomes sexually explicit if players download and install a modification to the game. By default, the game retains the flavor, which has been approved by the various game rating authorities. The Minneapolis-based National Institute on the Media and the Family said in a statement: “While San Andreas is already full of violent behavior and sexual themes, the pornographic sex scenes push it over the edge.” The agency has already issued a nationwide parental alert on the game.
The makers of the game Rockstar Games has already issued their statement confirming that a renewed investigation is on by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board thought they have yet not stated anything on the reported adult content. They said: “We also feel confident that the investigation will uphold the original rating of the game, as the work of the mod community is beyond the scope of either publishers or the ESRB.”
The developer of the said Modification to the game, Patrick Wildenborg claims that he just unlocks what is already present in the game. Rockstar put that content in the shipped DVD and he has got nothing to do with the unlocked gaming content.

I am more than a bit distressed by the handling of this news piece. I saw a short news video two days ago on Comcast’s ‘the Fan’ about this issue, and I found it pretty interesting. In wishing to show the piece to my friend it became clear that Comcast or CBS or ABC has pulled the video clip from their internet news center. It is nowhere to be found. What sort of idiocy is this??

I think what the people are doing is doing is bogus. A typical game will have millions apon millions of lines of coding, so they could easily forget to remove a feature thats not wanted. If anything, let rockstar issue a patch that blocks the hack? Or something, other than ruining the game.

dude this is getting old, the ppl from rockstar didn’t do anything.. it’s the ppl who do the mods that did it, and if hillary would get her head out of her ass then this whole situation would not be here. look at all the other games out there?? take the sims 2. I mean there’s patches that let u have real pubic hair and a sex patch but do they do anything about that? I don’t think so, it’s only doing it for grand theft auto cause it’s already consavertial and they think cause of this patch thing they can get some money off it or something.. well just lay off the game and look at all the other games that u can download that stuff for.. that’s all I have to say about it.
