Corporate Responsibility Lesson 1: Own Up When You Do Something
The makers of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas got into extremely hot water when the game that was released had all kinds of code in there to make it pretty much an NC-17 (if it was a movie). Basically, all you needed was a mod in order to unlock the code to allow you to literally get some booty. They initially lied about it, saying that the code was added by the mod, but in this article from Yahoo!, they state that it was there the whole time:Company officials had previously suggested that a modification created by outsiders added the scenes to the game, last year's best seller in consoles.
"There is sex content in the disc," Take-Two spokesman Jim Ankner told The Associated Press. "The editing and finalization of any game is a complicated task and it's not uncommon for unused and unfinished content to remain on the disc."
I call bullshit on the last bit. They meant for this easter egg to be in the game the whole time and allow people to find out about it through message boards etc.
