Rockstar Games Statement
(thanks Frans) has a reaction from the folks behind GTA to all the talk of the
"hot coffee" sex mod for the game. They start off by saying "We fully support
efforts to keep mature-rated video game content out of the hands of children,"
and go on to say: "We are disappointed by comments that misrepresent Grand Theft
Auto, detracting from the innovative and artistic merits of the game.
Unfortunately, the recent confusion only serves to suggest that games do not
deserve the same treatment as other forms of creative expression. By promoting
awareness, we can avoid propagating the fear and mistrust of a new entertainment
medium." Meanwhile,
Thompson Calls for ESA Pres Resignation on Kotaku has an Open Letter to the
Members of the Entertainment Software Association from Jack Thompson, crusading
attorney, who continues his attacks on the gaming industry by mentioning the Hot
Coffee mod as well. In the letter he literally thanks the lord for an enemy like
ESA president Doug Lowenstein before urging the association to jettison their
head man in what can be comfortably described as a surprisingly hateful diatribe
from the lawyer already known for such rhetoric. Thompson praises Senator
Clinton's initiatives for trying to prevent a "calamity" he predicts will be
"like Columbine to the factor of ten" while using most of his space to
vehemently attack Lowenstein, in some cases personally, going so far as to
invoke an analogy, albeit a vague one, to Hitler (long considered the benchmark
of when internet arguments have lost any value).

If I make a 'mod' (patch) for your internet explorer that goes to porn sites, is microsoft responsible?
If I mod Word so that everytime I type a word, it inserts vulgar words (which, by the way are ALREADY in its dictionary, as it does not underline them), is Microsoft responsible?
Either you're a troll, or insufferably dense.
No, in either case. IE is built to go to websites. The porn is not contained within IE. Similarly for Word. You're comparing apples and oranges.
If porn had been built right INTO IE and Word, and was unlockable, then yes, Microsoft would be reponsible.
If you don't WANT people to unlock it, don't put it in there. Seems simple enough. Rockstar made it, realised that if they put it in the game they would NEVER sell it in any of the large stores (ie, no money), so they 'removed' it, but to such an extent that it took a modder a grand total of one week to unlock it.
Yeah, Rockstar is not to blame here. Sure.
