Believe it or not, the Hot Coffee scandal may have finally found it’s end. At least we hope.
Today, Take-Two Interactive announced that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has unanimously approved a Consent Order and Agreement. The company has settled all its outstanding matters with the FTC and will not be charged any penalties or fines. The agreement also requires Take-Two to not “misrepresent a video game’s ratings or content descriptors and that the Company shall implement a system to ensure that all game content is reviewed in connection with submissions to ratings authorities.”
“We are extremely pleased that the FTC has concluded its very thorough investigation, and that the matter has been resolved. We recognize the importance of maintaining public confidence in the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) rating system and helping the ESRB educate parents and consumers about the rating system. We look forward to putting this behind us and focusing on what we do best – creating video games.”
