Rockstar Takes Care Of In-Game Sex Scene Lawsuit
Rockstar Takes Care Of In-Game Sex Scene Lawsuit

Rockstar Games has solved the Hot Coffee class action lawsuit situation and financially speaking, it has managed to do so rather efficiently. Only 2,676 people seem to have been offended by the game’s hidden sex scenes, as that is the number of user claims recorded within the case.

Everything started when a secret sex game was found in Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: San Andrea. Obviously enough, there are a lot of people who consider this to be a non-issue. They feel that the sex found in video games (adult-oriented ones of course) is as normal as that found in movies and should not be treated differently.

According to the New York Times, although much larger numbers were expected to be brought up, the company only had to pay about $30,000 (unpleased gamers could get back from Rockstar Games sums ranging from $5 to $35). However, Take-Two (Rockstar’s parent company) totaled legal fees of no less than $1.3 million. As mentioned in the agreement, the company will also make an $860,000 charitable donation.

According to NPD Group reports, the game was sold in roughly nine million copies in the US, bringing in revenues of over $370 million. If we do the math, we can see that the financial terms of the agreement were company-friendly, to say the least.
