Ah you've got to love the death throes of a dying business model, thrashing violently at a rapidly growing business model.
"We're still relevant! We're still relevant!"
That said, his bosses must be pleased. They've probably doubled traffic lately because of that story.

This is the Daily Star. The Daily Star. Don't bother.
I could compare the Daily Star to Sarah Palin on crack with a hint of ecstacy laced tequila.
Do feel free to go to: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sunday/ and wonder why.

Hmmmm as a non-lawyer I can see:
Sued by Rockstar.
Sued collectively or even individually by all people associated with the gunman. (Gunmans family, victims and family of victims, especially the people he extracted heartfelt comments from, for anguish/distress or whatever the term is)
Penalised by media watchdogs for publishing lies.
Any more thoughts from the more legally savvy escapists?

Well you are a grown man who sits around writting bullshit stories on the futile subject matter of game violence. Also I notice the "All day" part and that is something that is definitly a stereotype of the "nerd" and not a fact that applies to all gamers, just saying.Andy Chalk said:
Ok, you may think of me as a horrible person for saying this, but I would TOTALLY play a PS2 styled GTA game centered around a real-life serial killer. If Rockstar made GTA: Manson, or GTA: SotL (that's Silence of the Lambs for all you unable to acronym) and got to play as either a gun-toting cannibal or cross-dressing kidnapper, than yeah. I'd pay hand over fist for the opportunity.
OT: That "journalist" should be laid off in the worst way. Not for his slander piece-that's his job-but for not doing proper research to back up his batshit article and defending it un-ironically.

...Wow, what a total prick... Makes a tasteless joke, calls it journalism, gets called out, laughs it off and acts like hes a big man even though hes insulted not only people who play games, but also a large game Dev' company. Well done, sir. End rant.
Who the hell buys these trashy mags anyways? Have people still not discovered the internet, or...? Seriously, when was the last time anyone bought a magazine? I think my last mag was like 9 years ago.
I'm hoping I don't get dinged with probation for this, but I want to share my feelings about Mr. Lawton here.
Hey Jerry, you're a ****. Learn how to do your job with dignity and tact. Just because you work for a slanderous noise rag doesn't mean you also have to be a worthless piece of shit like your employer. Pick yourself up, go back to journalism school, and figure out how to report the news like a respectable person. You deserve a kick to the head for bothering that old woman, just for the sake of spreading lies.
Oh you mean that vast minority of people who do get addicted to games. You are right we should all be forced to pay because of them. Forget everything associated with their problem lets just scapegoat games and be done with it. Afterall it doesn't have anything to do with them. Oh no it was games that made them that way.montycantsin said:
