Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft

[psi29a]

An anonymous reader writes to mention that Jack Thompson, in his latest bout of zealotry, has set his sights on Microsoft for their recent release of Halo 3. GameAlmighty has posted the letter to Bill Gates.

Here's the deal, Mr. Gates: Either Microsoft undertakes dramatic, real steps, through its marketing, wholesale, and retail operations to assure that Halo 3 is not sold, via the Internet and in stores, directly to anyone under 17, or I shall proceed to make sure that Microsoft is held to that standard by appropriate legal means. I have done that before successfully as to Best Buy, and I shall do so again as to Microsoft and all retailers of Halo 3.

Jack Thompson is the devil... Why would anyone go so far to "help people from video games" when simple education and good communication by parents will negate any ill effects of the fantasy world video games create while the kids will still be able to enjoy the greatness that video games are

I hate this fucker for making me feel sympathy for Microsoft.

Thats just some publicity stunt for Halo 3

Not so much a publicity stunt for Halo 3, but moreso for Jack. He's the asshole that got GTA3 removed from alot of stores. May he rest in piss.

Hes against Microsoft... Even if it takes a little visit of The Geek himself and some of his convincing friends and fellow hypnotists, Halo 3 will not be hindered by this event.

Like you stated, it is only for more advertising.
In fact this will only help Halo 3 sell more copies IMO.
