A user has created a version of the Hot Coffee minigame for the Rockstar Games cowboy game, but their parent company has asked for it to be removed.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas had a hidden minigame in its code that was discovered by users. Hot Coffee invited the player to have coffee with his girlfriend, of course the coffee was actually sex. Now, a modder has revived the ghosts of the past and created a version of that minigame for Red Dead Redemption 2, something that has not pleased too much Take-Two Interactive, parent company of Rockstar Games, which has already requested its withdrawal for infringing , according to its criteria, the user's license.
This is stated by youtuber Swegta, who has been in charge of bringing the case to light. The document that Take-Two has taken as an argument argues that the conditions of online services prohibit the modification of the software, in addition to establishing rules of conduct that include “the prohibition of users creating, uploading or publishing vulgar material, osceno or sexual". Meanwhile, the creators of the mod, Unlosing, have confirmed to PcGamesN that the company has taken action against their work.
"It's not fair," says the modder
"I was a little surprised and I didn't expect Take-Two to care about a single-player mod like this," says the modder. “It seems crazy to me that Rockstar Games can add whores in their games, but when someone uploads a mod (not even of the same quality”, it is suddenly 'inappropriate'. ”According to his words,“ the mod does not introduce nudity nor Nude modeling, since it only uses resources that are already in the videogame. ”The animations correspond to that of a mission of Lenny that is in the game, while“ moans are simply the sounds they make when they are hurt. ”
On the other hand, it also underlines the fact that Take-Two has used the conditions of online services when the mod is available only for its offline side. "I don't think it's fair," he emphasizes. In this mod, Arthur Morgan has sex with prostitutes in certain bars.
Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC has mods since its launch on the platform. So far, Rockstar Games had only taken action when the modified versions moved to Red Dead Online.
