Rockstar games finally opened their mouths about the Hot Coffee mod that has given uptight video game playa haters fuel for their fires. And this is what they came up with.

“In violation of the software user agreement, hackers created the ‘hot coffee’ modification by disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game’s source code. Since the ‘hot coffee’ scenes cannot be created without intentional and significant technical modifications and reverse engineering of the game’s source code, we are currently investigating ways that we can increase the security protection of the source code and prevent the game from being altered by the ‘hot coffee’ modification.”

Wow. For a company that is a huge fan favorite, one that carries a fanbase like Tivo, Google, and Apple, they sure were fast to sell them out. How about taking some responsibility there Rockstar. You can’t cover your ass with your User Agreement, the textures and programming were in there, so pony up. [via]
