Take-Two is hinting at taking legal action against the makers of popular console peripheral Action Replay.
Shortly after the announced recall of Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Take-Two sent out a statement that in part read that they were exploring taking legal actions against companies that profited from creating and distributing tools for altering the content of their game.
Reading between the lines, this means that the company is pointing out that they aren't the only ones to blame for the Hot Coffee scandal.
The fact is, if you owned a console version of the game you couldn't get any Hot Coffee action without Action Replay or a similar device. By using codes or saves created for the device you could unlock the sex mini-game, and Rockstar and Take-Two don't want anyone to forget that.
What this means for the modding community is anyone's guess, but I can say the happy relationship that modders have long had with many publishers may be on the verge of ending.
