Take-Two, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has announced the settlement of all consumer class action lawsuits pending in the United States" related to the infamous GTA: San Andreas "Hot Coffee" mod. Take-Two has committed at least $1.025 million on the settlement, and by the terms of the agreement, their total costs are capped at no more than $2.75 million.
If you feel you were burned by Take-Two's "hot coffee" incident (sorry), you can get satisfaction if you are willing to jump through some hoops. OK, a lot of hoops. If you swear that you bought a copy of GTA: SA before July 20, 2005, further swear that you were "offended and upset" by the existence of the Hot Coffee mod, and further swear that you wouldn't have bought the game if you had known about it, and also swear that you would have returned the software if you "thought this possible," you may be entitled to exchange your tainted disc for a brand new disc devoid of any beverage mods, hot or otherwise.
If a new disc doesn't do it for you, you may be able to receive a cash payment of $35 provided you can supply a valid proof of purchase and jump through some more hoops. Good luck with that! Now, can we all move on please? OK, good.
