Jack Thompson threatens to "block" GTA 4 release

[jesus]

I suppose he's only trying to do something good, but I doubt it will work.

His argument is with parents, not with the makers of the game. If you're a good parent, you wouldn't give the game to someone under the age of 13. Yes it is an 18+ game, but I think 15-16 year olds can play it without having the need to kill a friend or neighbour.

His case is a failure.

Take Two have targeted me in this fashion. Take Two references to me as a bisexual pedophile on its corporate website…

I was playing GTA when I was 5, and i don't want to kill anyone. You'd have to be poorly brought up to act out violence you see in video games . Like Neil I was made aware of the stuff in video games so I knew that it was wrong to act out violence you see in video games .

Good upbringing and knowing the between reality and fiction is what makes you not kill from video games. You have to be pretty messed up to perform stunts and scenes from games.

Exactly, my parents believe that if your bought up around this stuff you will understand it more as you age, I've always known things in movies and games are not real and shouldn't be done in real life
Same with my brothers, that's how I intend to raise my kids (if I have any)

lmao @ the parody of killing him!
And anyway , if you're brought up thinking violence is correct well then you shouldnt be able to play them. But people like most gamers who know its better not to react with violence will learn not to imitate video games like this.

This man is an idiot imo. if he's taking on Rockstar, he'd have to take on Fox, Universal, Paramount, Sony and all the movie giants aswell.

I think we hould all get together and kill this sucker with a chainsaw, or a rocketlauncher, and then steal his money and hijack a bus as a getaway vehicle before planning a hide out in the hood, while the police shoot at us from a 'copter.

the idea that anyone would want to copy GTA is nonsence... :rolleyes:
