Los Angeles Sues Take Two Interactive Over GTA
The Los Angeles attorney’s office has sued the makers of “Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas” for allegedly hiding pornographic material inside the video game, officials said. For a game released in 2004 it seems silly that states are still suing over a year later.
The game, released in October 2004, features characters that commit crimes such as murder, drug dealing and pimping. The game also had an embedded “mini game” in which characters could engage in explicit sexual acts. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, was part of an ongoing investigation into the marketing of video games, authorities said. The game also spurred several states to crack down on sales of mature-rated games to minors. Delgadillo is seeking civil penalties from Rockstar Games Take-Two Interactive.
