Rockstar Games is one of the most well-respected game development studios in the world. People will buy anything and everything that they produce. However, with such adoration comes high expectations, and while the GTA games have always had a reputation for being clanky (kind of like Bethesda with The Elder Scrolls and Fallout), fans have come to accept such flaws as part of the charm of Rockstar's award-winning titles. Unfortunately, it appears that Rockstar might have gotten a bit too complacent with Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition.
The remastered re-release of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas, has been fraught with controversy and issues, but it appears that its biggest problem is yet to come. According to several data miners, San Andreas' canned mini-game, most commonly known as "Hot Coffee", is still in the game's files.
Rockstar's negligence could cost them millions - AGAIN
Rockstar's handling of the launch of Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition has been a mess - they've even had to go so far as to take down the Rockstar Games Launcher for nearly two days. The bundle remained unavailable to play and purchase as Rockstar explained that it was working to "remove files unintentionally included in these versions." Because of the urgency of the takedown, many believe that this was related to the "Hot Coffee" mod that Rockstar should have already removed from the remastered version of the game before it launched.
