Grand Theft Auto: ‘Hot Coffee’ mod
Trust the Dutch – if there’s porn to be found in a video game, they’ll find it. The infamous 'hot coffee' incident occurred when a 37-year old hacker from the Netherlands discovered hidden code within Rockstar's popular action game GTA: San Andreas. The code unlocked a new mini-game in which the main character engaged in sex with his girlfriend, after being invited into her apartment for some hot coffee.
This caused a storm of controversy across the globe - a situation which was only worsened when Rockstar denied all knowledge of the hidden code. All copies of the game were subsequently recalled, to be replaced with ‘caffeine free’ versions.
