Why are you so consistently stupid? San Andreas was the top selling game on the PS2 and one of the best selling games on any platform. On top of that there was the Hot Coffee mod which received a lot of media attention at the time. It is by no means an obscure game.
I tried to get a PS2, then a PS3, but that never came along. I literally never heard of it outside of Hot Coffee, which of course I knew about, but it seemed to only give me the impression of a random game having problems as they usually did back then.
And as I loving said, my perspective, how I see it, how it came to me. I didn't say it was for everyone, it was my personal exposure.
