As per VGC’s notice, a couple of dataminers found these files and put them up on Twitter for everyone to look at. Consequently, the D-series was unavailable for PC players for the third day running. Rockstar noted that this was done to “remove files unintentionally included in these versions.” That makes sense. When San Andreas came out, players found out after a couple of dates that would invite CJ to the place where he’d get some coffee. Even though we only had a partial view of the house with muffled sounds, the Hot Coffee mod has not only shown the situation inside but also showed a liar of CJ’s actions through a minigame. PERSPECTIVE: GTA: The Trilogy of Impressions: Good, Bad, and Janky. The hot coffee controversy is a real nightmare for Take Two, since San Andreas was left behind from several countries and then then reclassified as an ‘Adult Only’ game. Take Two also has to cough up almost 20 million dollars in legal costs. The whole album was ready to be released by Rockstar. The launch of GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition is nothing but smooth. As previously mentioned, PC players were unable to play the game for almost two days. We thank you for your patience and understanding in the effort to restore services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and support titles, tweeted Rockstar at the time. While the launcher is back, the games still exist. Maybe Take Two will take no chances and make sure that every trace of the “hot coffee” ads have been scrubbed clean. The Definitive Edition has also cleaned up shop names and other background text that was originally sexual jokes. It isn’t clear why this decision was taken, but developers are clearly worried about some kind of backlash.
