People who were offended by the sexual content of
last year's Hot Coffee mod could receive between $5 and $35 restitution if they joined
the class action lawsuit. Even though the main stream media widely reported on the matter and various politicians joined the crusade, only 2,676 people signed on for the settlement, according
The New York Times. Initially Take Two was facing $2.75 million in fines, but with the small turnout the publisher is only looking at $30,000. On the other hand, the various lawyers involved in the filing are seeking $1.3 million in legal fees.
