This report follows public pressure over the Hot Coffee debacle. Rockstar, the publishers of the game have given retailers the option of restickering the game with an 18+ rating or exchanging it for a new version with the controversial content removed. ESRB head Patricia Vance says 'After a thorough investigation, we have concluded that sexually explicit material exists in a fully rendered, unmodified form on the final discs of all three platform versions of the game (i.e., PC CD-ROM, Xbox and PS2). However, the material was programmed by Rockstar to be inaccessible to the player and they have stated that it was never intended to be made accessible. The material can only be accessed by downloading a software patch, created by an independent third party without Rockstar's permission, which is now freely available on the internet and through console accessories.

Which is parents and others blaming the Game company for the content in the game. Why not take responsibility as a PARENT and do some PARENTING?!?!
If you are going to let your child shoot up an entire city of pixels, what does a little sex hurt? Oh wait.. sex is bad. But killing everything in sight is good
Does Rockstar now sue the author of the patch that un-locked the questionable content, as the author is most likely is in direct violation of the EULA.
Or do they file charges against the author?
Could be rather interesting.
