Wal-Mart actually sells the most video games every year. Gamestop is behind them, though. Still, if Wal-Mart doesn't sell it, that will definately impact it's success.
Oh, gods, I think he has truly lost it this time. What makes him think he has the right to play a video game before anyone else? Because he's a lawyer? Because he's an upright citizen?
Yup and as the most succsessful lawyer of all time and someone with absolutely no bias whatsoever in terms of video-games or Take-two games Jack Thompson should be the one that decides whether or not it is ok for children.
Expect Counter Suit By take twoyukimurasanadaAugust 16 2006, 22:37:01 UTC
As a general rule, what jack has done is not suprising, but what he forgets is it's not the first time someone tried this.
The ptc years ago attempted the same thing with the WWF, and the WWF sued them for over 3.5 million. If take two is smart, they will do the same, as what thompson is doing is clearly slander and interferance with Take Two bussiness relationships,which the court ruled in the WWF case, was against the law.
This is why the ESA should have slapped JT with a slander suit years ago, had they done so, they could have at least put him out of action finacially. As much as I stand for the first amendment, there are times when certina measures must be taken.
Hopefully the Esa of Take Two, which recently got a new, major stock holder, will counter this idiot now that he's crossed the line.

Perhaps the ESA dosent want bad PR from sueing JT at the same time its knda late if they sue him now it would add to thier "bad" image? Also it might double his supporters....I can see this go 2 or 3 ways and only 1 of thos ways in teh ESA interest. Even if Take Two went after him its jsut make his case that much more appealing to thos hes turned aginst the gameing indurety..altho sicne politions are already undead I wodner what they got turned into ...mmm
blah.....anyway either someone needs to put this demon back in his tomb...
I would actually almost support this, if I thought JT were a fair an unbiased source.
However since he's spent however many years publicly decrying the video game industry, trying to get anti-video game legislation passed and basically making it his crusade to shut down mature video games, I can't think he's an unbiased source.
