San Andreas given a AO rating, pulled from shelves

First of all someone 18+ isn't going to care about the sex scene, they're already old enough for it. And if you're under 17 and your parents buy you a game in which you get points for murdering prostitutes, than seeing some animated sex is not going to have any worse effects on your child.

Maddox has summarized the way I feel about this better than I can. Just like everything else.

This is freaking stupid, if the person already has a computer and internet access to download the download of that patch then it shouldnt be a big ass deal because if a person wants to see porn that badly they could just goto google or alltheweb

This has got to be the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

If a series of games or an individual game is know and good, banning it from store shelves will not hurt sales at all because the gamers will be buying it some other way. Tons of places still sell the games and the gamers know where to go. Banning Half-Life 3 from store shelves certainly won't stop it from selling when it's released

All they've done is tell people which patch to download to get the sex scenes.

Yeah, alot like Kazaa because many people didnt know about it, after the lawsuit many people got into it alot more than those who left. Hell if it wasnt for the news and stuff about this for SA I wouldnt even know about it.

Goddamnitt, not the FTC!

So I'm guessing PC gamers are the ones using third party programs to unlock the sex scenes? Why would they pull all copies of the game then? Can't use those third party programs with consoles (unless you hacked your Xbox).

And what about those other games out there that are starting to hit the market? Lesiure suit Larry or the Playboy mansion. Games based on selling sex. How come these politicians and media watch groups aren't going after them?

All in all, parents need to be more carefull when buying video games for their kids. Damn kids.

Exactly. It should be up to the parents whether or not their kid can play the game or not - not the stores.

As far as I understand, the game was not banned, just required to get a new rating (as it should, if it now fits the AO criteria). The government may be happy to see it off of some shelves but it doesn't seem they demanded it. Also, the game is not banned for sale - I presume any independent games store can still sell it (as can big box stores, if they so choose), it's just that some of the big retailers are pulling their copies voluntarily.

Wow, thats a great pic!

What's worse is how cheesy the video actually is. It's so weak. Got it off of maxim.co.uk

its called the hot coffee mod. when your g/f invites you in for "coffee" you can control what goes on in the house

They're not even naked!!




I'd rather see parents who buys these types of games for their children be removed from scociety and given some courses on how-not-to-fuck-up-your-kids-future.
