Quote:Take-Two has settled the class action lawsuit brought against the publisher by investors over the infamous 'Hot Coffee' modification contained in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Hot Coffee controversy centred on the discovery of a sex minigame in GTA: San Andreas, which was disabled but left within the game's code. The Hot Coffee modification enabled users to access the minigame in the PC version of the title, and console hacking tools enabled the minigame to be played in the console versions.
San Andreas was subsequently re-rated as Adults Only and pulled from some retailers’ shelves. An updated version of the title with the minigame removed was later released, but investors alleged that their stakes in Take-Two had been damaged by the scandal.
Take-Two will pay $20.1 million to settle the lawsuit, with $15.2 million covered by the company’s insurance carriers. The publisher said that it fully accrued for its portion of the settlement costs over several quarters ended April 30, 2009.
"We are pleased to have reached this settlement, which represents another important step forward for the company," said Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick.
