Also, if it was on purpose, it backfired because it stops being "free" advertising when you have to pull the game off shelves to "remove the obscene content." On the other hand, it probably wasn't intentional with Hot Coffee since, you know, it wasn't in the game. That's been their strategy literally since GTA 1. People are always going to want what the world tells them they can't have as well, so there's "no such thing as bad publicity." It actually makes the game more attractive to some people, and to those who get outraged and swear never to buy it, well, they never were anyway. If the mainstream news is going to decry your game as degenerate filth on network television, that's a bunch of eyes on your game that never would have been there before, and you didn't spend a dime to do it.
