Coffee Talk w/ Rockstar
"So far we have learned that the "hot coffee" modification is the work of a determined group of hackers who have gone to significant trouble to alter scenes in the official version of the game," reads the statement. "In violation of the software user agreement, hackers created the 'hot coffee' modification by disassembling and then combining, recompiling and altering the game's source code. Since the 'hot coffee' scenes cannot be created without intentional and significant technical modifications and reverse engineering of the game's source code, we are currently investigating ways that we can increase the security protection of the source code and prevent the game from being altered by the 'hot coffee' modification."
The modder states that he added nothing to the game when releasing the mod and that all the content was there by Rockstar - "If Rockstar Games denies that, then they're lying, and I will be able to prove that," said Wildenborg, a mod author, in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

I don't know what the big deal is. There was a nude patch and sex patch for the sims too and there wasn't any outrage about that.

I WAS A DEVOUT BAPTIST CHRISTIAN BEFORE PLAYING GTA. AFTER PLAYING IT I STARTED HAVING SEX WITH GIRLS AND STEALING CARS AND BASE JUMPING OFF OF BUILDINGS. IN ADDITION I UNLOCKED THE SECRET WORSHIP THE DEVIL MINIGAME AND NOW I AM A SATANIST. IM ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND MY PARENTS JUST WATCH TV ALL DAY AND SAY I WAS AN ACCIDENT. THEY ARE TOO BUSY SMOKING CRACK TO RAISE ME SO PLEASE PROTECT ME WITH LAWS.

If they make the minigame and then disable in the shipping version, what harm is there in that? At least in theory, that should be legitimate behavior from developers. (Of course some could create the game and then drop hints and make it so they *know* a modder will unlock it and then claim that they didn't actually do it, but we have no reason to believe that happened here.)
If you have to mod the game to access something, then it isn't part of the game.
