"Hot Coffee" wasn't even an easter egg, it was something you got to through the normal in-game dialog in the dating minigame. You're treated to watching two polygonal adults dry-humping each other fully clothed, and for this one publicity-seeking soon-to-be-disbarred lawyer got the country clutching its collective pearls for a moment.

I'm pretty sure the industry and the general public are long over it. It's just that AAA game production has become such an assembly-line industrial corporate process that no one involved has the independence or remaining soul to write such things anymore.

Never has anything been blown out of proportion more than this Hot Coffee nothingburger. It astounds me that anyone took this seriously at the time.
