Well at least they're trying to pretend the add-on is not just boobs, but a hiding place and a champagne room too.
oh and, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBS!

I'm starting to have bad feelings about this game. It's never good when a game uses breasts as a selling point.
As much as I dislike discouraging the second-hand market, I have to admit that the content in question is a rather clever solution to two problems:
1.) If EA is determined to incentivize buying new copies, what's the least obtrusive way? Missing out on maps will affect your multiplayer experience ("sorry guys, I don't have that map"), but pasties/none doesn't affect the gameplay experience.
2.) Pandemic and EA get away with having digital nipples in the game, but being upfront about it and requiring players to clearly jump through a hoop should take away a lot of the "think of the children!!!" argument. Although Hot Coffee wasn't normally accessible in GTA:SA, the fact that it was left in the code (and Rockstar lying at first) is what got news pundits riled up. Even though the Saboteur patch is probably something along the lines of 'pasties=0', the tech-luddite public would have no reason to think that anything is being hidden from them, since you're -adding- the patch to the game.

This reminds me of the Godfather2 which I actually quite liked but the first time I walked into a strip club there were boobs every were and it startled me.
They could put two points before you even start the game which say "this game features offensive content, do you want it filtered?" after giving you the choice to not download the offensive content in the first place, and people have been proven to still object to it.
...it's set around a French burlesque house. Burlesque isn't, despite what the article would have us believe, French for "pastry house"...letsnoobtehpwns said:

I don't believe that two departments of EA will merge to sell the game as a whole company. That's like Microsoft making games for the PS3.
Going back to the railroad track, I can already see the lawsuit rates go up for EA when parents find their little sunshine playing with topless pixilated girls.
This just in: EA remembers what marketing is. First the Dante's Inferno thing, and now this.

The difference between these two is the hot coffee mod was already part of the code on the GTA:SA disc, anybody with the knowhow could alter the code to implement it without any downloads.* With Saboteur, the actual nudity is not included in the game, for nipples you actually need to download the code. I don't know the ESRB's stance on DLC, but good odds EA makes an effort to cover their ass on this, either throwing a disclaimer with the DLC, or even have the ESRB throw in their two cents.Doug said:

And I have to agree with Mr. Pitts here. This is DLC that could very well have just been on the website with a hefty price tag, and it still would have been cool with me on EA's part. But including it with legit copies is an interesting pseudo-DRM. I look forward to listening to parent's groups and FOX cry about this, because for once, EA's hands are clean.**Russ Pitts said:

Breasts...
Want.
Also, did this mean that it will be available only on the first day, or will be available on the first day onwards?

Shameless shameless advertising ploy. I've heard NOTHING about this game until now.
They're not offering any gameplay enhancement, they're not telling you about the gripping story. Instead it's "buy now...get to see the boobs"
Even if they DIDN'T do it, I'm positive a 3rd party would mod it in.
Come back when you've got some substantial DLC for us EA.

The only potential downside to this that I can foresee is the "Somebody watching me play the game from over my shoulder without my knowledge" angle, but the physical arrangement of my computer is designed to make that feat impossible, ha ha! Anyone trying to stand behind me first has to directly approach me via my open sight line, and there isn't really any room to stand behind me anyways.
Not that I'd actually care if anyone was watching mind you, it just might potentially be awkward for those of us with less 'boob-enthusiastic' friends/family/etc.
Also this content is apparently already on the disc if you get the PC copy (or so sources in Europe intimate).

And so EA continues its recent trend away from standard soul-crushing evil to crazy awesome evil.
SWEET JESUS!!!!! I wasn't goting to but the game but now that i know i can get free boobies I think I will!
