I agree it was different, but none-the-less I wouldn’t be surprised if it made them a bit over-sensitive to opening their game too much to fans. After Hot Coffee, it probably wouldn’t matter if any lewd content added was already present, it might still re-kindle the controversy. IIRC, Hot Coffee made such a big splash in the media pond that it even made Bethesda take measures to prevent nude patches for Oblivion in the beginning, no doubt fearing that the Hot Coffee scandal would spill over and force the ESRB to re-rate Oblivion too.

Hot Coffee was totally different imho, because that content was already in the game and made by Rockstar themselves. If it was 100% fan content (like … let’s say, tomb raider patches) nobody would have cared.

That’s not to say I think it’s highly unlikely they release an SDK for GTA, they never did in the past and I can’t remember them stating that they’d like to.

After the Hot Coffee thing, I could understand it if Rockstar wouldn’t be so interested in releasing an SDK for their new game. But we’ll see.

That is exactly what I want to be.

Or alternatively, I want a game as big and detailed and responsive as GTA, but built primarily for DYI games just like NWN.

So. Not. Happening.

So you basically want to be a dungeon master in GTA 4 multiplayer? Sounds good
