Now what would be truly epic is if he ran the hookers over afterwards ala GTA to get his money back.
Update: did you know he’s a superdelegate? Presumably for Hillary (another video game critic)? This just keeps getting better and better.

A few days ago Jack Thompson sent a note to EA offering his assistance with their planned takeover of Take-Two Interactive. Yesterday he was politely told to go eff himself:
Mr. Thompson,
We have received your letter to EA’s shareholder site. In response to your offer to assist in the proposed acquisition of Take-Two, we would strongly prefer that you not get involved in this matter. EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers. We feel that your past statements – including false claims about content in our games – make any collaboration with you impossible.
Sincerely,
Mariam Sughayer
Sr. Manager Corporate Communications
Electronic Arts, Inc.
Well played, EA. Well played.
Of course, Jack couldn’t let them have the last word. Now out of the blue he has a “client” with a “claim” against Take-Two… a little too convenient… From his reply:
If you all at EA want to pursue a purchase of Take-Two without fully knowing what is “out there” in the form of liabilities, posed by my client and others, of your take-over target, you got [sic] right ahead. I’m sure EA’s shareholders will be impressed with your lack of “due diligence” exhibited first by your “don’t help us, Mr. Thompson” and now your anticipated “we don’t want to know about contractual liabilities of Take-Two” posture. Maybe the new corporate logo of EA should incorporate an ostrich…
Produce this client, Jack. Otherwise, I like everyone else following your antics will simply chalk this up the usual wholesale bullshit that you are so well known for.
