Public awareness of the existence of the mini-game arrived with the release of the Hot Coffee, created for the port of GTA: San Andreas in 2005. This mod enables access to the mini-game.The mini-game portrays animated between the main character, and his chosen in-game. The name of the mod is derived from the girlfriend's offer for the main character to come into her home for 'coffee,' a euphemism for sex.Although the 'Hot Coffee' mini-game was completely disabled and its existence was only highlighted after the mod's release for the PC version on June 9, 2005, the assets for the mini-game were also discovered in both the and versions of the game, and people found ways to enable the mini-game via console video game hacking tools.
By the middle of July 2005, the mini-game's discovery attracted considerable from lawmakers and politicians, prompting the game to be re-assessed with an ' by the U.S. (ESRB), and refused classification in Australia, resulting in its removal from sale.An updated version of San Andreas has since been released with the mini-game removed completely, allowing the game to regain its original rating. A for the original version of the game, Cold Coffee, was designed to counter edit the script and disable the mini-game and crash the game if one attempts to access it.

Once CJ has become particularly close to a girlfriend, or if he has collected all oysters in the game, his girlfriend may end a successful date by inviting him into her house for 'coffee,' from which CJ may choose to accept or decline. Improving relationships with girlfriends through successful dates and other related activities will eventually reward CJ with new items, such as vehicles and special wardrobes, along with pre-existing gameplay benefits (e.g. Dating a nurse grants CJ with free visits to the hospital without losing his weapons after dying).In the unmodified version of, players see an exterior view of the girlfriend's house while muffled voices of CJ and his girlfriend engaging in are heard.
However, the Hot Coffee mod replaces this with a minigame which allows the player to actually enter the girlfriend's bedroom and control Carl's actions during sex, with the same controls as dancing., the publisher of the series, initially denied allegations that the mini-game was 'hidden' in the video game, stating that the Hot Coffee modification (which they claim violated the game's ) is the result of ' making 'significant technical modifications to and ' the game's code. However, this claim was undermined when a user known as gothi from the website PS2 Save Tools released the 'GTA:SA Censor Remover' tool for the and versions in June 2005, which allowed the minigame to be accessed on consoles.
These new methods of accessing 'Hot Coffee' demonstrated that the controversial content was, indeed, built into the console versions as well.The PC mod itself is only an edited copy of the main game script file ('main.scm') with a single changed. The mod was also made possible on the console versions by changing the bit inside a user's saved game file or by using a third-party modding device. Take-Two has stated that the mod constitutes a violation of the End User License Agreement, even though modification of the main.scm file is common within the mod community.However, the oral sex animations are clearly visible in the background during one scene of the mission 'Cleaning the Hood,' even in the re-released game. This explains why the minigame was not simply removed when the decision was made to cut it from the game; its assets were already in use elsewhere. Controversy Wikinews has related news:.The revelation of the mini-game sparked a fair amount of controversy around Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, with some politicians firing harsh words at both the game's developer and the (ESRB), the organization which establishes content ratings for video games in North America.

Also, Congress passed a resolution to have the investigate whether Rockstar intentionally undermined the ESRB by having the content in the game.In New York, a was filed by Florence Cohen, an 85-year-old grandmother who purchased the game for her 14-year-old grandson (according to the old rating of 'M,' the game is typically considered inappropriate for this age). Cohen's lawsuit claimed that Rockstar Games and, the publisher of the game, are guilty of,.
The accusation of deception is based on the change from M-rated to AO, meaning according to the lawsuit that the original rating was a deceptive practice.A protest group known as the Peaceholics organized a protest on August 4, 2005 at Rockstar's headquarters. The group demonstrated against San Andreas as well as the game, the latter due to fears that the content could inspire children to become bullies themselves. Response Product re-rating On July 8, 2005, the announced that it was aware of and opening an investigation into the circumstances surrounding 'Hot Coffee.' The investigation examined 'whether the mod unlocks preexisting code.or is actually a purely third-party creation.'

Rockstar stated that it would discontinue manufacturing the current version of the game, and produce a new version that would not include the content that is unlocked by the Hot Coffee mod. In the fourth quarter of 2005, Rockstar released this 'clean' version with the 'Hot Coffee' scenes removed ( Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 1.01), allowing the rating of the game to be reverted to its original Mature rating.On July 29, 2005, as a result of the newly discovered scenes, the Australian (OFLC) revoked the game's 'MA15+' classification (the highest rating then available for computer games in Australia) and changed the game's rating to Refused Classification (RC), which officially banned the original version from being sold in the country.

The patch fixed many performance issues and bugs. However, the patch also disabled the controversial 'Hot Coffee' scenes, even if the 'Hot Coffee' mod was re-installed.There was little reaction in. The game was already rated '18+' by prior to the release of the mod. Furthermore, PEGI ratings are enforced by law in many European nations, making it a criminal offense to sell 18+ games to minors. In the United Kingdom, the similarly gave the game an '18' rating (as of 2012, the BBFC no longer classifies video games, and PEGI was adopted instead).Product withdrawal and recall Wikinews has related news:The day after the rating change, several chain stores, and retailers, which accounted for every major retailer in the and approximately 85% of the game's market in the country, removed the PC and console versions of the game from their store shelves, re-stickered the box with the new rating, or returned it to Take-Two Interactive. These included major chains such as,.

EBay claimed that GTA:SA violated the terms of the eBay seller policy and could not be sold unless it was located in the Everything Else Mature Audiences section.

This made it necessary for players to use a previous version if they wished to install multiplayer game such as San Andreas Multiplayer or and other game modifications that include new scripts or vehicles.
Certain versions of the original game may also be made available on the Internet or from illegal retail outlets. Downgraders are also available to unpatch and revert the game version and support the Hot Coffee mini-game again.This limitation later was overcome by two members of the unofficial Grand Theft Auto community, who discovered a method of creating modifications which would work with version 2.0. Users of version 2.0 might still need to use previous versions or use a downgrade in order to install a mod not created with the new method.Federal and legal action.
