I will ask those of our readers who have paid more attention to this subject to let us know in how many scandals has Grand Theft Auto been involved so far, because we've already lost track.

After being accused of violence, racism, of promoting crime and uncivilized behavior, now came the time for GTA, through GTA San Andreas, to also be involved in something of a sex-gate.

But how is it possible for a game to be involved in a sexual scandal? It's not that difficult, and if you want to

ESRB has immediately set its sights on Rockstar, and it remains now to be proved whether the producers have indeed knowingly introduced the sexual content, which is activated in GTA San Andreas by the mod released on the Internet.

What is really amusing is that, even if Rockstar will undergo a very harsh investigation, the mod continues to roam freely on the Internet, and can be downloaded in less than two minutes by anyone who has ever heard of this game. A few years ago, when another patch, inviting you to undress Lara Croft from Tomb Raider, had appeared on the Internet, nobody made such a fuss about it and nobody accused Eidos of having modeled a female character with something more than just bits and bytes under her clothes.

But now we're talking about GTA San Andreas, which already has enough opponents to fill a Superbowl stadium, so the censors will probably show no mercy. However, I don't know for sure if Rockstar or the mod's developers are to blame. Because, after all, just how legal is it to modify a game's source code?
