ControversyEdit

The Grand Theft Auto games became household names not only because of their non-linear gameplay, but because of various controversies surrounding the game and it's mature content.

ViolenceEdit

Since the games allow the player to do anything, that includes gunning down innocents. Or beating them down with bats. Crime is a main theme of the games, where stealing cars and shooting civilians is the easiest way to play the games. One common example of violence used in many articles revolves around the ability to pick up prostitutes for health, and then kill them to get your money back.

The risque content of the games have brought many people to criticize the video game industry, from Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton to Republican Lawyer Jack Thompson.

Hot CoffeeEdit

Main Article: Hot Coffee

A mod unlocked hidden, unused content in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas that included a non-nude, simulated sex minigame. When this became well known, Rockstar and TakeTwo Interactive were criticized for allegedly "hiding" this content when small children can "unlock" them easily on the internet, despite it being against the EULA and the game being M-rated in the United States anyway.
