is "check" supposed to be cheque?

I love that last sentence, "Monies." Honestly, that needs to be a word.

 

[doc70]

the "victims" need to loosen up a bit. They did not actually lose anything, and the game was already rated M. Do you realize that the vast majority of people that are of legal age to buy/play M games have actually seen much, much more online already than a poorly done mod on a videogame?
And yes, being part of a class-action suit always mean you don't get to file your own. You have to opt-out of that if you want to pursue your own lawsuit. They are applying the same rule here, no surprise.

No, check is how we refer to authorized payment notes in the US.

I really didn't understand the outcome of the lawsuit. My understanding of the "hot coffee" was that it was a mod to view modded content... fallout 3 has nude mods i havent seen a lawsuit filed against them. Unless being mislead.... i just dont see why take 2 has to pay anything.

[citation][nom]edilee[/nom]And "check" is spelled "check" here in the US so obviously this article was written in american ingrisch.[/citation]

There, fixed that for you.

This is pretty stupid for a game rated "M" for Mature. Like we haven't seen a sex scene before :rolls eyes:

in this GTA The hot coffee sex content was actually included in the game, but you had to use a mod or hack the game essentially in order to view it. But some GTA programmer originally put it in the game so these people are saying they are at fault for hiding it in there.

You have to go out of your way to access the sex game in GTA so I don't see how anyone, after making such a deliberate effort, could label themselves as a 'victim'.

Isn't there a law against trying to scam money from people through lying? If so, it'd be good if each of the people receiving this cheque also received a fine hehe

I actually was thinking this was written by someone else, then the gas comment, and instantly Kevin came to mind, and I look, and it was true.

Your articles are improving Mr Parish, good job!

One of the most BS lawsuits ever. "I'm going to sue because I purposely went out of my way to crack a game to unlock inaccessible content, and my virgin mind was traumatized."

Seriously, the only way anyone could ever unlock "Hot Coffee" was if they went out of their way to hack the game. It's not something you can accidentally stumble upon. And even then, it's people having sex in a game about MURDERING PEOPLE! So killing hookers is okay as long as you don't see them having sex. I remember in the 80s, when PG movies had naked breasts. Now, you see a millisecond of a nipple, and the world is in an uproar, when really it's the vocal minority.

I wonder how much the lawyers got paid? I bet it was considerably more than 35.00.

"Take Two warns that consumers who actually cash these little checks will no longer be able to make any additional claims in regards to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas First Edition."

Which means I can still sue and get a $5 check of my own, even though I missed out on the first law suit? Nice.

Thanks for clearing that up, i thought it was something like that but wasnt sure. Maxor127 makes a good point though... murdering in a game is fine even for teen rated games but sex is just considered the worst thing in games even though the world depends on it for life. lol... its a weird twisted world out there.

My oldest brother showed me a Playboy when I was 8 years old, does that mean I can sue the living balls off of him?
Screw your American English, Cheque > Check. Two or more definitions for a word can be confusing.
