Though Rockstar eventually produced a Hot Coffee-free version of the game for consoles and a Hot Coffee-removing patch for the PC version, thus regaining the "M" rating, many retailers meanwhile pulled the AO edition from shelves, leading to a loss of $24 million for Take-Two. The ESRB responded to the Hot Coffee content by switching San Andreas to an "AO" (Adults Only) rating, rather than its initial "M" (Mature) rating. The FTC originally charged that the companies violated the FTC Act by representing San Andreas as a "Mature"-rated game, failing to disclose the hidden sexual content.
According to the FTC, Take-Two and Rockstar failed to notify the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and consumers that San Andreas contained otherwise-hidden nudity and a sexually-themed minigame which could be revealed through the third-party "Hot Coffee" hack.
