Take-Two Interactive just issued a release featuring details on the preliminary settlement of the consumer class action lawsuit filed against it and Rockstar Games over the "sexually explicit" content in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. That content, unlockable via the "Hot Coffee" mod, caused the game to be re-rated by the ESRB, pulled from store shelves, and acted as the grounds for a suit filed in July of 2005 claiming violation of consumer protection laws. 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. There are, of course, stipulations to the proposed settlement, the details of which are in the full press release below.

Wait.. what's that - it's not even accessible without modding it? Well, everyone knows that the young children who aren't meant to be playing it anyway are all totally technically savvy when it comes to these things.
RUN FOR THE HILLS!
This whole affair is so goddamn retarded it sickens me. America's pron/violence priority list is so screwed up it's unreal.
Here, here! That's why over here we've got overprotective "Health and Safety" officials who now ban kids from taking a pencil case to school, because it contains sharp objects... such as a pencil.
