Grand Theft Auto sued.


As an update to our posts on the sex “mod” that has been found in the popular Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, we find that LA is now suing the company for selling pornographic games to children.
While the video game was recently rated “Adults Only”, LA attorney Rockard Delgadillo (And possible former porn star himself? That name is crazy) is accusing the game publisher of failing to disclose the modification to retailers.
In result, the lawsuit is asking Take-Two and Rockstar Games (the subsidiary behind Grand Theft Auto) stop marketing the games to children, pay fines and return $10 million in profits. Consumers in New York are suing as well, seeking class action status.
While I’m glad this controversy raised some questions regarding gender issues within the video game industry, it still aggravates me that it was okay before when the game merely alluded to sex. More importantly, the excessive violence that these kids were subjected to was never an issue, but when a tit comes out, it’s all over.
