Jack Thompson Calls Kotick Out on Modern Warfare Comment

[kotorfan04]

Wait. Am I the only one who sees potential here? Kotick And Thompson are both evil men but diametrically opposed to each other, maybe this new bit will cause the two to destroy each other. What a great day that could be, and it is in that mindset that I say: GO THOMPSON GO! Hell if you need it I will pass you a pistol to cleanse the world of Bobby Kotick... I mean EVIL video games.

You know, if there was an actual series about a super hero gamer (like Gus Man), Jack Thompson would be like the main villain, and he would have his own legion of doom. I bet Michael Atkinson and Bobby Kotick would be in that legion, too (despite recent events).

Oh dear oh dear oh dear... You know, I love Jack sometimes. He so funny. Every time he tries to blackball video games, I swear to god sales go up. Jack, you are the Bizarro Lawyer. The more you prosecute, the worse you get. Your quarry goes free and you're not even allowed to speak out anymore. You're a kook! The only reason anybody lets you be heard is that it's funny and the gamers feel the need to defy you outright by supporting the industry.

I'll bet I know what it was. Jack got pwned, big time. His 'bad experience' probably went like this. He was playing PONG, and LOST to the computer, 21 to NOTHING. That's his dispute. NO SKILL. So, he complains to everyone about how it's all their fault, that games are bad and he's just not convincing anybody. Jack, seek help! You need it! And remember that it's not Lupus!

Soooo... I guess Mr. Thompson has noticed all those bumper stickers about people who'd rather be fishing than engaging in their responsibilities, and will take the appropriate action to protect our youth from the evil machinations of the fishing industry?

Okay, Jack, I guess the disbarrment didn't penetrate, so let me spell this out for you: no one gives a crap about what you have to say anymore. I rather suspect even most of the lazier media outlets have gotten enough wind of your reputation that the offers to appear as a self-described "video game expert" have pretty much dried up.

To whatever extent you ever had a point, you've done a terrible job of making it. I mean, worse than if you hadn't gotten involved at all. You rally the troops on the opposite side while your foolish theatrics make people who have more reasonably stated questions about mature content in video games want to say "Ah, you know he's not with us, right?"

Kotick has not handed you the magic bullet that will take the evil video game empire down, and the fact that you think he has, combined with your past activities, causes people to have real doubts about your sanity. I mean, genuine delusions of grandeur/persecution complex/paranoid schizophrenia kinds of concerns.

I don't wish you ill, Mr. Thompson, but for the sake of anyone who cares about this conversation at all from any side... Please, go away!

Kotick said: "nature of my personality is such".

Jack, bless your cotton socks, I know you were a lawyer (you know, until you were banned from practicing) but I'd expect you to be able to read at least.

There are millions (if not billions) of gamers, and this is just one man talking about his personality.

Bless, you stupid little attention-seeker.

Im still waiting for EA to put a "an resemblence to real persons...is merely a coincidence" version of JT in a fight night game.

 

[Therumancer]

I don't see what one man, even a developer, says about his personality traits as an individual has to do with video gaming or the industry as a whole. Okay granted he's someone who admits he could have a problem, but does that mean it's this way for everyone? Certainly not.

I'm retired on disabillity, I have a lot of mental problems I could get into, but problems I have do not nessicarly equate to people who don't have giant F@cking dents in their head.

 

[Tdc2182]

I would lawyer the shit out of this guy.
Me: So you claim video games are worse for children then playing with chainsaws
him: yes
Me: So if you had to choose, would you let your child play with a chainsaw over a videogame?
Him: (Either) yes (or) No
Me(if yes): So whose a worse parent, One who allows videogames or who allows playing with weapons?
Me(if no): Exactly, seeing how you made an expression, just like Bobby Kotick

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Huh. Literary supposition has automatically occurred in my brain. I read that title as "Moron Calls out Goblin on Mewtwo Comment". Interesting. Though it does speak to the quality of the product that even the CEO has trouble putting it down.

 

[Malf]

Jack Thompson is such a massive idiot I mean seriously when he can come up with some actual oh I don't know...EVIDENCE supporting his claims maybe people would be more likely to believe him. Instead he sits around complaining hoping to become famous( rather than infamous for being such a douchebag).

I would buy that game.

 

[effilctar]

I have been led to believe by watching the Big Bang Theory that there are many lethal chemicals that do not show up in autopsies. What is the going rate for hiring an assassin to poison Jack Thompson?

 

[Jennacide]

Leland Yee is almost as stupid as Thompson, and might believe this garbage is the sad part. If Captain Douchebag (Kotick) said the same of drinking, nobody would say anything.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Ding ding ding! Trollfight! Place your bets!

[Isalan]

I can't believe his old boss was called Sam Powers. Did he used to work for the freaking Justice League of America or something?

 

[KaiRai]

When a nice old lady is run over, or a family is killed by a faulty Toyota, and this douchebag hasn't been struck down with a bad case of anything that results in his death, it's hard to believe everything happens for a reason.

 

[bew11]

Someone just needs to assassinate Jack Thompson.

 

[TheEndlessGrey]

I'm confused, an adult admitting that he responsibly handles his gaming time is somehow a point against him, and therefore the entire gaming industry?

In a related story, Jack Thompson's grandchildren have been found at an arcade. The seedy underground establishment not only fed their addiction with free games if they won, but also sold them caffeinated beverages. Thompson refused to comment on his family's ties to the video game industry.
