  1. Melisa Upton at 11:01pm 29th July 2005 I fail to see why the general gaming public should be punished for someone putting a mod patch into GTA:San Andreas that everyine I know was unaware of or could care less about. Furthermore, why should we, the mature and conscientious adult gaming public be not allowed to purchase a game because of some parents who don't supervise their kids? It is not my problem that parents are irresponsible when it comes to monitoring their children's gaming habits, so I fail to see why it should be made my problem! Does anyone know when the game will be available for re-sale and how much of it will be butchered?
