I have one of the evil dirty copies. But I'd be lying if I said the Hot Coffee part offended me.

Pansies. I'd pay $35 just to teabag the people who were "offended".

$35? I knew I should've acted more offended.

It's going to be ridiculously hard to get a proof of purchase for it to even get paid

This is more of a slap in the face to the people that were complaining than any sort of solution.

Which is perfect thing to do.

Fuck them for going out of their way to see something that offends them, or for complaining about the nefarious plot to sell people inaccessible polygonal porn. Don't like it, don't jump through hoops to see it.

Jesus! it's getting "settled" now?

I thought people had forgotten about this when the oh so violent Manhunt 2 came out!

The sad thing is I actually cared about the GTA controversy because it was a great franchise I didn't want to see die because of bad press...

...But Manhunt 2...?

I'm probably stating the ovious here, but if a game is not good, no amount of violence or sex scenes will make gamers care.

Just 'cause it slipped out of the public's eye doesn't mean those lawsuits will magically disappear.

Come to think of it, it was this the game that gave certain unmentionable* lawyer the ammo he needed to make a name for himself.

Gosh... Remember back there when we thought he was a threat to the gaming industry?

Now, two years later...well...

I wonder how many people will cash in on this. It's so retardedly ludicrous.

Great for people who were planning to off load their copy anyway but couldn't get a good used price for it. $35 is still better than nothing.

So the 10 people that kept their receipt are going to get 35 bucks. If I had my receipt, I would take their 35 dollars, and call it a refund for Liberty City Stories (Gahhhhhhhhhhhh it sucksssssssss)

This doesn't make any sense really, and they probably won't have to pay out very much at all. Why? Who in their right mind is going to want a disc without the content that they had to freaking hack the original disc to get at anyway. Angry parents wanted money, and it seems like they might get it (if they kept proof of purchase), but why would they want a copy of the game that their kids could then go and play (with all of the sexual innuendo, and violence still in it anyway).

Three cheers for idiocy

I know it goes without saying... but, because of clueless idiots, too many important points should have been said anyway.

If you take advantage of this JT-flavored payday, you make these kinds of frivolous lawsuits that much more lucrative. Let this money go back into the industry where is will actually do some good inste.....

...SWEET I found my receipt! See you suckers later!

Good thing I'm a pack-rat. I too have mine, and will be collecting every cent I can get out of this joke of a legal system (frivolous or not).

In fact, it's the least Take Two can do for tricking me into buying a PS3 during the PS3 "fire-sale" (60 GB model price reduction) simply to buy GTA 4. By the time it comes out, I'll be like "who cares"!

I need to find one of the old copies for xbox. I rented the game before they recalled all of the discs and the newer discs never recognized my saves so I have to start all over if I ever want to play it again.

Why is it that the words "morally offended" and "monetary compensation" are always in the same sentence?

I wasn't offended and upset just mildly aroused. What can I get for that?

I was not aware that Manhunt 2 had killing in it, and I am deeply offended. I require ludicrous amounts of money to satiate my offended sentiments.

You have to actively hack your game to enable those scenes, which countermands the idea that you wouldn't have bought the game had you known the scenes were in it since you have to go out of your way to do so. BS all over it. They should sue everyone who takes part in the lawsuit under fault of perjury.

Yes but that would imply intelligence in everybody involved, and considering that involves Congress, good luck with that.

I have the game. I didn't actually like it a whole lot, and would return it just because it wasn't as enjoyable as GTA III and Vice City were. I could probably come up with a proof of purchase too. But, out of principle, i will not be turning this game in. The whole fiasco was just stupid. Rockstar is not guilty of anything here.
