• ... that the concept of adding strippers to the extreme sports video game BMX XXX was initially proposed in jest? Source: "Acclaim executives wondered, what could they do to get people talking again? This was the question higher-ups at Acclaim and Z-Axis were asking themselves in the meeting where the fateful joke was told: 'Let's put strippers in the game.' The idea of adding strippers to the game made everyone laugh. It was ridiculous. But, surprisingly, when everyone stopped laughing, serious conversations began."
  • ALT1: ... that some developers for the obscene extreme sports video game BMX XXX distanced themselves from the production by using the names of historical figures such as Fletcher Christian? Source: "Wanting to distance themselves from the project and its controversies, Guerrero said some developers at the studio decided not to put their names in the credits, choosing instead to abbreviate their last names or use the names of historical figures, like Fletcher Christian."
  • ALT2: ... that following the release of BMX XXX, executive producer Shawn Rosen left the video game industry and established a koi pond business? Source: "Rosen left Acclaim soon after the release. (...) Rosen took a completely different path in life and now owns his own koi pond business."
