Cites hidden "Hot Coffee" sex scenes in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
It looks like those "Hot Coffee" burns won't be healing any time soon.
Rocky Delgadillo, district attorney for the city of Los Angeles, is suing both Rockstar Games and New York-based Take-Two Interactive for civil penalties stemming from the so-called "Hot Coffee" scandal that damaged the developer's reputation this past summer, leading to a proposed federal probe of Rockstar Games and a retroactive Adults Only rating. The game was briefly removed from nearly all store shelves before Rockstar deleted the hidden sexual content and re-released a cleaned-up version of the game.
Delgadillo's suit charges that Rockstar made misleading statements when marketing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
"Businesses have an obligation to truthfully disclose the content of their products, whether in the food we eat or the entertainment we consume," Delgadillo said in a statement.
