Someone done a “Hot Coffee” mod for Red Dead Redemption 2, and a creator says Rockstar Games roughly now sent them a direct to stop and terminate with a callback to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas’ AO-rated liaison from 15 years ago.
“Hot Coffee” is, for now, still accessible on Nexus Mods, and while I’m thankful to dwindle that page and a highlights video NSFW, be wakeful that everybody is gettin’ it on entirely clothed, like this is Cinemax circa 1988 or something. But a dry-humping is rather counsel about what’s holding place, and Arthur Morgan and his join do a satisfactory volume of grunting and groaning in flagrante delicto.
This was still adequate to get Rockstar’s authorised group on a case. YouTube’s Swegta called courtesy to a mod and a dustup in a video on Monday, and spoke to one of a modders, Unlosing. The modder responded to a takedown direct by seeking what policies they had violated, as a mod doesn’t use any outmost assets, and each animation and sound shave comes from calm still in a game.
“Frankly, it is a passionate calm of a Hot Coffee mod that is causing sold regard here,” pronounced a response, according to Unlosing (at 6:32 of Swegta’s video), “and a categorical reason because a mod needs to be taken down and infirm immediately.” Hey, during slightest they were true adult about it.
PCGamesN also followed up with Unlosing, who pronounced he has no skeleton to take down a mod any time soon. Unlosing forked out that a mod has no nudity, uses resources still in a game, their sounds are indeed a customary response to injury, and a mod is usually accessible for a game’s single-player mode. “To answer your question: no, we don’t consider it’s fair,” Unlosing said.
Still, poking fun during Hot Coffee is substantially a overpass too far. Although many who remember it giggle today, it was a no-joke predicament for Rockstar Games behind in 2005. That was no mod, either; developers left in formula for a kind of sex-act minigame between C.J. and his several dates (who entice him in for a suggested coffee). Someone detected it, flush it, and a fact it was still partial of a diversion meant a ESRB re-rated a pretension to a kiss-of-death Adults Only.
Retailers had to mislay a diversion from sale and re-sticker it with a new rating, or lapse their batch to Take-two Interactive. Rockstar announced a product recall, patched a aged diversion to keep Hot Coffee from playing, and afterwards published a new book of a diversion with a offending formula nude out. The Federal Trade Commission still brought a fit opposite Rockstar, that was staid a year later. In a wide-ranging talk with a Guardian in 2012, all that Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser would contend about a matter is that it was “draining and upsetting — a tough time in a company.”
Anyway, it’s still accessible for now. It allows Arthur to sinecure an chaperon during any of 3 locations, a Valentine Saloon, a Saint Denis Saloon, and a Strawberry Hotel.
