the company should give up its profits from the game for what amounted to false advertising, consumer deception and unfair business practices. I have no problem with that.

Gasp! You mean she bought her grandkid a game where you steal cars and shoot at people, not knowing there might be a sex scene in there to corrupt his morals? Outrageous!

A woman upset that she bought the video game "Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas" for her 14-year-old grandson [snip]
Cohen said in the suit that she bought the game in late 2004 for her grandson when it was rated "M" for mature, for players 17 and older.
They should drop the suit and arrest her.

Oh, Come On!
This is so obviously a put-up job by someone in H. Clinton's circle.
Last week H. Clinton comes out against this very game and this week a grandmother from New York is suing the gamemaker.
I was born at night, but not last night.

????
He was still only 14. Didn't she check the rating BEFORE she gave it to him???

You just knew that this was coming. The free press the company is getting is worth a lot more than this opportunist will be getting.

I saw these scenes for myself in the game and was utterly shocked. I cannot believe someone actually took the time to do all programming and graphic work to put these scenes in a video game. It is pornography plain and simple.
I still don't advocate a lawsuit for outrageous money in this matter as we are already an overly litigious society. A refund for those offended should be punishment enough.

Anybody else see the problem here?

No doubt she is an idiot for buying the game for her 14 year old grandson.
My issue is that the game company did commit a fraud on the public and the profits from selling the game should be forfeited.

How could she possibly have suspected that would be in a game called GRAND THEFT AUTO? I'm sure she just thought she was buying an innocent game about murder and robbery.

According to the suit, she directed that it be taken away from her grandson, which was done.Yet she bought the game for her 14yo grand son knowing it was rated "M". but suiting anyway??

Grandmother Sues Game Maker Over Hidden Sex in 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' Is she suing because the sex was too hard to find?
To: TheOtherOne
Why was she buying a video game rated for 17 year olds for her 14 year old grandson?

I have no problem with that. Yeah, you have no problem with people making idiotic decisions. An 85 year-old woman actually went out and bought a violent video game for her grandson. My B.S. detector is overheating.

Why was she buying a video game rated for 17 year olds for her 14 year old grandson? She's a dumbass? But that is a separate issue from what the game company did.

Stupid grandmother. Her grandson is 14 -- this was stated in the article.
She said the game was rated "M" (17 and over) when she purchased it for him.
Why did she knowingly buy him a game for 17 and older and then file suit about it?
No case here.
