Look I don't know how else to put this but so F****ing what? Your friend choose to access that mod. Intentional or not on Rock Star's behalf you choose to activate it. If your friend's mom controls his life so much she can tell him what he can and can't play then it sounds like he isn't 17 yet so he shouldn't have the game anyways.

Church Wacko's and politicians are just looking for a cause they can fight. If they arn't saving us from ourselves they arn't doing there jobs. The gaming community really needs to step up and represent it's self much better in the public eye. I'm not saying we need to be clean cut @$$ kissing politicians. We need to voice our opinions. In the end these politicians only care about keeping there jobs, they have no "real" opinions on anything.

If you care that much do something about it. Voice a way to change this rather then ask people to bitch here about it, course bitching is quite fun.

I think the biggest reason the older generation is against these changes might stem from how video games evolved.

In the beginning, we were all 3-10 year olds. Our parents could tell us what to play and what not to play. The politicians didn't have ANY dissenting voice because we were not old enough to represent ourselves.

Now, however, they are getting a dissenting voice, something they aren't used to on this subject. "What!? The gamers are defending themselves? They didn't do that before. Why are they doing it now?

Now we are old enough to vote and tell our government how we think about stupid "Lay the blame" tactics.

Gaming companies are stepping into this situation because now they know that gamers can back them up.

Jack and all the rest of the people opposed to gaming need to realize that we aren't children anymore, and we have the ability to talk back now.

R* made the mistake of believing that gamers would leave their games alone, although heaven knows where they got that idea. Gamers never left games alone. Look at game genie and game shark.

Now companies know that if they don't want a gamer to do something with their game, they shouldn't have it in their game's code. Even then, someone will manage to do it, but it will no longer be the companies liability.

I honestly don't know which is worse. The fact that it was unlocked so that people could play it, the fact that if it wasn't there before, someone would have made it, OR the fact that it's making R* a household name.

I'll be honest for a second. They made it. Someone found the Hidden Treasure chest and the underground rejoiced. NO ONE is going to stop modding, taking a game run on Renderware and making your own? Ubisoft did that and they're successful and the PC was MADE to be open no matter what the EULA says.

In regards to the PS2, I had fun with the game. I liked the story spoofs along with the ways I controlled what I wanted in the game. And if no one understood what was happening in the house through the suggestive "rockin da hizouse" scene, they shouldn't be playing in the first place.

Which is what made me laugh all the more.

If you look at Vice City, GTAIII, and then compare the hooker-in-car scenes to San Andreas', they went from a joke to serious. Vice City/III had them making comical jokes. At one point I believe a prostitute does the following:

"Unnh. Unnh. Unnh. Okay, I'm done."

But in San Andreas, they actually sound like they're having a good time themselves. And now Jack Thompson goes ballistic because 'you see it'.

Meh. Food for thought.

Actually, I think it's a misconception that gamers started out young. Inded, the PC Gaming scene was much bigger, and maintains most of the older/oldest audience of them all. If you're talking about purely consoles, okay. But the PC has had shit like this for ages--and PC Gaming progressed rapidly--much more rapidly than console gaming did.

Hell, by Duke Nukem, you were paying hookers to show you their tits.

Let's not forget Leisure Suit Larry 1 - 6. but we'll forget that the one on the consoles ever existed...
