Topic: Take Two sues Jack Thompson

[idolminds]

It was bound to happen.

[Pugnate]

Why doesn't he go to Iraq and get kidnapped or something.

[idolminds]

Quick, someone tell him Iraq is known for making violent games.

[iPPi]

Haha.

[Pugnate]

Sorry the whole kidnapping of innocents and then slaughtering them on camera is really getting to me. But that's another discussion.

So boo Jack Thompson and stuff.

[MysterD]

I knew someone was going to go after Jack, sooner or later.

And no surprise, it's Take 2.

[Xessive]

It's about time!

[Quemaqua]

I'll be the first to raise a glass to Take Two when they win.

[PyroMenace]

Jack counter-sues. What a douche.

[idolminds]

They should put his picture next to "douche" in the dictionary. He adds Penny Arcade and Gamespot to the suit?

Thompson's defense also appears to contain a number of factual errors and misrepresentations. He claims the Entertainment Software Rating Board found that Take-Two Interactive failed to disclose objectionable content in its role-playing game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The ESRB said it found developer Bethesda Softworks was at fault in that matter, not Take-Two.

Thompson also said that Bully was found to have "homosexual sex" hidden in the game, about which Take-Two "forgot" to tell the ESRB and the judge in last year's suit over the game's release. The homosexual activity in that game was limited to kissing, and the ESRB said shortly after that game came out that such scenes were considered in issuing it a rating of T for Teen.

When asked by GameSpot about these incongruities and others, Thompson replied "I'm sorry you can't figure these things out."

He's right. We cant figure out why he gets this shit wrong, since it takes all of 5 seconds to do some fact checking. I seriously hope he gets bitchslapped in this case.

[Quemaqua]

I hope he gets raped by elephants.

[Pugnate]

I don't think the elephants would consider it rape or interspecies sex.
