After the whole Hot Coffee mod deal, they need to get their wits together before thinking on the next sequel of the immensely popular GTA series.
LOL. Nothing could be far from the truth. GTA-SA sales only increased in the past 2 months. What if a couple of retailers pulled the game from their shelves. Makes no diff to Rockstars bottomlines.
Note: The whole affair only resulted in a M (18+) rating on a 17+ rated game in USofA. In places like UK, it was already rated as an "Adults" game even before this controversy.
The game has been banned in Australia. This is actually due to a legal clause which states that - "Revocation of a classification means the computer game cannot be legally sold, hired, advertised or exhibited in Australia from the date the decision is made"-The Office of Film and Literature Classification". Not because Ozzies are against anything 18+. Hell, you can watch 18+ material on free tv, govt run channels at 12 in the noon
(and after 8.30pm). Hmmm, where did I watch "Cloud Door" with Anu Agarwal? Where else but SBS, Australia.
I find it extremely strange that in Oz of all places, the game should face a ban.
Hot Coffee effect = Free Publicity! ----- nothing more, nothing less.
