SAN FRANCISCO — Take-Two Interactive Software, publishers of the popular video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges for failing to disclose animated sex scenes were hidden on game discs.
The deal requires Take-Two and Rockstar Games, the developer of the game, to properly notify consumers of racy content on future games and not to misrepresent rating or content descriptions.

Really it's pretty much a non story as there wasn't any sort of penalty. I can't say I really expected there to be one but who knows, the courts turned down CBS's appeals over the fines resulting from the Janet Jackson tit episode during the Super Bowl.
