You know, I think Jack has a valid point... you know what? I can't even say that in jest. This guy's an idiot.

I really hope Gabe responds, though. Should be lulzy.

He does know that the Virginia Tech kid didn't play games, right? Well apart from Sonic once or twice in his youth, but still.
Don't say that out loud. Jack will try to prove his point by claiming the VT guy once wore a gold ring or ran really fast or something. :)

Gabe should get a warrant for slander(or is it libel)-ing on jack for doing whichever it was to Gabe.

Dam i hate writing in legal terms. You have to be soooo specific.

I thought Jack Thompson retired!? WHY GOD! Why do you keep making me relive the horrors of video game past!!
No, he didn't retire.

Florida took away his ability to appear in court as a lawyer for misconduct.

He needs to quit, seirously. Nobody likes him. At this point, he's just trying to gain attention imo. Granted, you can express concern sure, but he's doing it a bit to much with a "oh I have extreme importance" attitude.

What's he going to do at the appropriate time? Say that the game exists?
ANd going by his logic how creators are responisble for mods...
Why isn't he going after J.K. Rowling because of fanfics?
Lucas for Star Wars films
EVERYONE who has ever made any property because of rule34/the bad parts of deviantart
Againg what the HELL is this idiot going to do? Say that Half-Life 3 is going to turn your computer into a sentinet being who will train your babies to kill you and everyone they know?
Because everyone listens to disbarred lawyers.

Fact is, Newell has as little to do with the creation of this mod as Gutenberg does with the creation of Mein Kompf. He made the tool, but can't be held responsible for what others create with it. Of course, if Thompson knew jackshit about the medium he keeps bashing, this wouldn't be a problem in the first place.

Just saw the response from Gabe Newell

Dear Mr. Thompson
Please STFU. Learn about technology before you make demands of myself. I can not just stop mods from being made and distributed, much like you can't just become a credited lawyer.

Thank you!
Gabe Newell
Ok, Ok, so it's not real.. But I think Gabe is awesome enough to do something like that..

I think I can sum up my feelings for this arrogant, deluded, misinformed waste of redundant protoplasm with three simple words:


GO. FUCK. YOURSELF.


Grrrr, I'm going to save myself a long time of ranting by playing Diablo 2 and pretending HE is Mephisto. Over. And over. And over again.
thats technically 5 words

This is why you were disbarred for life Thompson. Your little claim about how video games engineered school shootings? You are so fixated on video games you forget all other critical details. You were a shit lawyer before you were disbarred, and now that you have no legal authority things are only getting worse.
...and here i am talking logic. Stupid me, Thompson wouldn't recognize it. I could be presenting evidence that games have no link to increased violence, but it would somehow come out to him as "Ooh, Thompson, your so sexy and smart. Go sue Team Ico for simulating animal torture!"

I swear, Thompson is like the Glenn Beck of failed lawyers/moral leaders.
