Video games have reached a new milestone, this time in the form of lawsuits previously reserved for videos sold on late-night television. A teenage girl is reportedly suing companies involved in the production and distribution of The Guy Game for including her topless. The Guy Game is a trivia game for the Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC created by developer Topheavy Studios. Not only is the girl suing Topheavy Studios, she is suing Take-Two label Gathering of Developers, as well as Sony and Microsoft for creating the platforms on which the game runs. The girl's representatives argue that since she was seventeen when recorded, any consent she may have given was irrelevant.
GamerDad's Take The Guy Game, not reviewed here, is a worthless peice of software. It's a Man Show style trivia game where the reward is seeing grainy footage of a topless woman Girls Gone Wild style. Really this game shouldn't have been picked up by a distributor and the game maker - and maybe Take Two - will probably suffer mildly for it. For example, did she provide a fake ID when she gave her consent? Or did they just not bother with that formality. It's ludicrous and baseless to blame Microsoft and Sony, of course.
