At the bottom of the page I found a link to thing saying games that almost got banned: http://www.looper.com/2034/controversial-games-almost-banned/?utm_campaign=clip
It says:
GRAND THEFT AUTO: SAN ANDREAS (2004) The 2004 release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for consoles and PC would have stirred plenty of controversy all on its own for its depictions of crime and wanton destruction and violence. But in 2005, modders discovered some disabled code within San Andreas for a mini-game depicting the game's protagonist while enjoying "intimate relations" with his girlfriend. Nicknamed "Hot Coffee," the mini-game could be found inside PC and home console versions of the game, though it was completely inaccessible unless a user hacked his or her way inside.
Regardless of how well developer Rockstar Games had hidden "Hot Coffee," the discovery made headlines and spurred the ESRB to re-classify the game from Mature to Adults Only 18+. Rockstar recalled the software from stores, and "Hot Coffee" was poured down the digital drain?but there was plenty of damage done. Legislators tried to pass a law for the federal government to enforce ESRB ratings, while Rockstar and the game's publisher, Take-Two Interactive, were hit with civil lawsuits and a suit from the Federal Trade Commission?both of which were settled. Just goes to show you: sometimes hot coffee is a bit too hot.
