Grandmother Sues Makers of Grand Theft Auto
The Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas controversy refuses to simmer down this week as an 85-year-old grandmother from New York has filed a lawsuit against Take-Two Interactive, the publisher of the game. She bought the game for her 14-year-old grandson, unaware that soon afterwards a mod would be released that could unlock sexually explicit content in the game. Now that the game has been retroactively rated Adults Only, she is horrified and has taken the game back from her grandson. The suit seeks unspecified damages for Cohen and all consumers nationwide. Now I don’t want to tell people how to raise their kids, but let’s see… the game is rated M for Mature, which means that according to the ESRB ratings, a 14-year-old kid shouldn’t be playing it in the first place. Does she even know that her grandson actually got a hold of the mod and experienced the hidden sex mini-game? My guess is that he didn’t. This situation could easily spiral out of control as there are many, many others who could file the exact same lawsuit. Hopefully someone out there has some common sense to throw out these kinds of crazy court cases.
