Jack Thompson throws out IV threat following release date announcement
Jack Thompson throws out IV threat following release date announcement
He's been quiet for awhile now, probably due to being faced with the posibility of being disbared in his home state, but with the announcment last week of the release date for Grand Theft Auto IV he felt it his moral duty to...well threaten Take-Two Interactive. From an email sent to Take-Two he stated that he will work to keep this "murder simulator for violence against women, cops, and innocent bystanders" out of the hands of children, although that would mean having the game banned making it impossible for anyone to play in the end. He intends to due this by contacting "state and federal officials" to warn of the game and it's "dangers".
To be fair, he didn't actually make any threats towards Take-Two or Rockstar themselves, but I can guarantee that will happen before April 29th.
