GTA: San Andreas dumbest moment 2005

By Blake Snow

In Business 2.0's "101 Dumbest Moments in Business" of 2005, the
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas sex scandal takes the 15th spot on the list. The "Hot Coffee Mod" left in the game by developers allowed access to sexually explicit content within the game and was discovered by a Dutch programmer back in June of 2005. From the article: "Already marked 'Mature' for 'blood and gore, intense violence,
strong language, stong sexual content, and use of drugs,' the game gets rerated 'Adults Only,' causing Target and Wal-mart to pull it from stores. Take-Two's quarterly revenues fall $40 million short of projections."
