Los Angeles city is suing the Grand Theft Auto video game makers for hiding sex scenes in its computer code. The game, which is one of a series, is about different kinds of criminal activities in a virtual Los Angeles where the player takes the role of a criminal. In GTA the characters have explicit sex under the control of the player.
After complaints from politicians, the company initially said that the game had been adapted by hackers, but later admitted it had been written n the original code, and that hackers had found the code. More than 35 million copies of GTA have been sold, with global sales approaching $242 billion. Stock in Take Two has fallen from $2430 a share in the last week. The company has not issued a statement since the Los Angeles City attorney took his case to court.
- How can parents and governments prevent children from playing games like Grand Theft Auto?
- Should video games with a violent or sexual theme be censored?
