On November 13, the account tweeted: “TheRockstar GamesLauncher is now online, but GTA: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition is unavailable to play or purchase as we remove files unintentionally included in these versions. We’re sorry for the disruption and hope to have correct ones up soon.”
Datamining reportedly uncovered even more surprises in the Definitive Edition game files on Saturday, when social mediausers claimed to have uncovered data related to ‘Hot Coffee’, the infamous, canned San Andreas sex mini-game that ended upcosting Take-Two more than $20min legal costs.
At the time of publishing, it’s not been verified if the claims are accurate. However, if the files are present, it would seem very likely thatTake-Twowould want them removed.
Hot Coffee was an inaccessible mini-game in San Andreas, which allowed players to have sex with an in-game girlfriend of their choosing.
The mini-game was ultimately disabled for the finalPS2,Xboxand PC versions of San Andreas, but in 2005 fans uncovered references to it in the game’s files and made it fully playable via a mod.
The discovery caused San Andreas to be reclassified as an Adult Only game and subsequently removed from sale in many regions, until Rockstar could release a new version with the Hot Coffee files removed.
