In Response to this article
Jack Thompson has officially sunk to a new low. Now he's offering $10,000 to charity if a developer will publish his swill idea of a "game" which is the most obvious and pathetic attack on the gaming community I've ever seen. Congratulations Jack, not only do you look like a hypocrite, and a publicity whore, but now you're just perpetuating the violence and hatred you claim to despise so much. Also, congratulations on making the entire gaming community hate you.[/url]

Actually, what's sad is that he'll probably start crowing about one-upping the industry when nobody takes him up on it.  Never mind that it's a stupid idea, or that a company would have to sink a two years and a couple million dollars into developing such a game.  Oh no, it's because they're afraid some player will come kill them!

i really don't understand why people take this dumbcunt seriously.  almost everything that comes out of his mouth sounds like the most obvious usenet/forum troll.

What a TWAT.  All of these idiots on their moral high horses dont seem to realise that any child that cant tell the difference between fantasy and reality, is pretty much irredemably fucked up anyway.

Everyone in this day and age is inundated with untruths, fantasies, stories, games, and simulations. TV never touches the real world. Adverts tell you tall tails, the internet is divorced from reality. Books tell stories that arnt real.

How old does a child have to be before they figure out that their disney videos are not real? A video game is no different from a book or a film, its just that the player becomes the storyteller.

Did violence in the media turn the last generation into phycopaths? No.

I think the idiotic fuckers that harp on about it are just after the media attention! And the money. Hes a bloody lawyer. Its always about the money. This one is pathetically transparent.

Digs:
Do we really care if Jack Thompson has a not-even-thinly-vieled-"political-statement"-cum-game made?
