Take Two Settles Hot Coffee Suit For Millions 46
Amidst the furor over the various Manhunt 2 controversies, Take Two has announced that it just dealt with its last big scandal, Hot Coffee. Kotaku has the release from the publisher, in which it states that the class action suit leveled against it some two years ago has ended in a settlement that may end up costing the company as much as $2.75 million dollars. "The lawsuit against Take-Two is still pending, but should the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York agree to the settlement, claims against the company will be dismissed 'without any admission of liability or wrongdoing by Take-Two or Rockstar.' The publisher says that it will pay out between $1.025 million and $2.75 million in settlement benefits, which range from an edited copy of GTA: San Andreas to a cash payment up to $35 for those who can provide proof of purchase of the game from before July 20, 2005."

This case from start to end is one big fucking joke, showing how religious folkes have success in forcing
their moral standards upon others.
A lot of good stuff is comming out of the US, but boy am I glad living on the other side of the atlantic ocean,
when witnessing how the goverment supports peoples right to get offended.
