I read an interview with the Rockstar President. Their first press release supposedly said that the content was only available by tampering with the game's code. When asked if they ever told the press that it was not in the game period, the CEO gave a firm "no." I'm wondering if the press, who obviously doesn't understand videogame coding/modding, took what Rockstar said about it not being in the retail version as saying that it's not their work at all. I'm betting the press fucked that aspect of it up as well.

"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 Rockstar's official 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."

This is the answer that the media is in an uproar about for no reason. The CEO clearly explains that you cannot access the content without a mod that was created entirely by "hackers." In no way did Rockstar say that the content was not in the game...but the content is not accessible without a user-created mod that alters the source code.
