Rockstar Says Hackers Have Altered the Original Game

Patrick Wildenborg, the Dutch gamer, said that GTA has some very explicit sex scenes included in the game, but which have to be unblocked by using a special mod, called "Hot Coffee".

According to Wildenborg, "All the material that is used during the sex scenes of the 'Hot Coffee' mod are on the official San Andreas release".

Wildenborg says that the sexual content was already built into the game, rather than added by his crew of modders. A company spokesman said Take 2 never comments on the activities of the modder community.

Although Take 2 never comments on the activities of the modder community, it seems that Rockstar has decided to come with an official statement that clears things up (or not). According to it, the group of hackers has altered the scenes of the original version, the pornographic content not being present in the original version.

"So far we have learned that the "hot coffee" modification is the work of a determined group of hackers who have gone to significant trouble to alter scenes in the official version of the game," says the statement.

Rockstar also said that they are trying to improve the security of the source code to prevent the game's alteration.

"Since the 'hot coffee' scenes cannot be created without intentional and significant technical modifications and reverse engineering of the game's source code, we are currently investigating ways that we can increase the security protection of the source code and prevent the game from being altered by the 'hot coffee' modification."
