Earlier this year, Take-Two launched a website that detailed compensation for those who bought a first-edition copy of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This stemmed from the settlement of the class action lawsuit directed towards the hidden 'Hot Coffee' content on the game disc. Despite the fact that GTA: San Andreas sold millions of copies, only 2,676 claims were filed, says the New York Times.

"Am I disappointed? Sure," said Seth Lesser, lead lawyer for the plaintiffs, to the New York Times. "We can't guess as to why now, several years later, people care or don't care. The merits of the case were clear."

These various claims, which range from $5 to $35 and sometimes include a fresh copy of the game, will cost Take-Two $30,000. Take-Two has agreed to make a $860,000 charitable contribution as well. By contrast to this, Lesser and his colleagues at 10 other law firms are seeing $1.3 million in legal fees, a fact that rankles some.

"There are two possibilities," says Theodore Frank, director Legal Center for the Public Interest at the American Enterprise Institute. "Possibility one is they have a meritorious lawsuit and they're selling out the class for attorneys' fees. The other possibility is that, and frankly I think this is the more likely possibility, they brought a meritless lawsuit that had no business being brought to court at all."
