EA has sent a clear message to Jack Thompson: don't get involved in our attempt to buy Take-Two.

"EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers."

Taken out of the context of this story, that statement is most ironic.

Jack... looks like you just got served!!

lewchenko · 6th Mar 2008, 14:48

I have no idea why this Jack Thompson guys thinks he is so influential. So whats he gonna do now ? Serve up anyother ill thought out court hearing regarding unsuitable video game content by EA. sheesh! this guy is insane. Who is giving him an audience ? Who on earth cares what he thinks ?

Why do people pay any attention to him ?

will. · 6th Mar 2008, 15:06

HA!

He never replied to my email... It wasn't even mean. I would call it curious.

Tim S · 6th Mar 2008, 15:40

El-oh-el

Oh Jack, what would we do without you? Other than be much more bored.

freedom810 · 6th Mar 2008, 15:47

EA's rep has just hugely increased in my books! Now for them to go for the final blow?
Down with jack thompson!

Orlix · 6th Mar 2008, 15:52

I am still surprised that there are people out there who would hire him... and with that response, how old is he? 5?

D3s3rt_F0x · 6th Mar 2008, 15:56

All you can truely say is, what sad little world does he live in lol

Shadow_101 · 6th Mar 2008, 16:00

Is that a real reply from Jack Thompson? Doesn't look very official/Professional to me.

Krikkit · 6th Mar 2008, 16:01

EA: "No way girlfriend, I ain't takin' nothin' from you..."
Jacko: "Oh NO You Din't!"

He's a bitter, twisted, sad little man isn't he? Couldn't he have run a grammar check on that email before sending it out? Hardly a professional tone too. I think it's time for Jack to stop listening to himself and quit.
