Take Two dodges Hot Coffee fine

As Take Two head off to Geneva, leaving the UK behind and waggling two fingers at the UK government , word comes via /. that their most famous and rather unfortunate "blip" has been resolved in the US courts.

The publisher of controversial titles like GTA: San Andreas, the (possibly) forthcoming Bully and, er, Table Tennis suffered harsh financial repercussions for their role in 2005's "Hot Coffee" scandal, in which unlockable adult content was "unknowingly" left in a game.

They weren't fined for this infringement, but any future "accidents" of this sort will be met with a hefty $11,000 fine.
