House backs
federal investigation of Rockstar Games on GameSpot (thanks
Frans) has word
on further scaldings in the works over Hot Coffee and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas:
Today's vote advanced House Resolution 376, introduced by Congressman
Fred Upton (R-MI). In Upton's words, he is "leading the Congressional effort to
determine if a best selling video game maker intentionally deceived the
industry’s ratings board to avoid an 'Adults-Only' rating."
In a statement, Upton recently said he was "outraged by the brazenness of
Rockstar Games in their effort to do an end-run around the ratings system....
Rockstar Games’ deceit has severely undermined the integrity of the ratings
system."
