It’s official Jack Thompson is suing Take Two to stop them selling Manhunt 2 and GTA IV. Joystiq is claiming that Jack plans to file the suit next week from March 19th in his words he wants to:
|
Prevent the sale of two hyperviolent video games set to be released this year and sold to anyone under 17 years of age.
|
It isn’t Take Two’s fault if certain retailers fail to sell games to the right age group, why should Take Two be sued? He won’t be happy until the age ratings take up 50% of the games cover just so some retailers will finally get it into their heads that these games are supposed to be for mature audiences only.
He mentions the fact that the player can plunge a syringe into the eye of their foes and remove their testicles as a bad point of the game taken from the recent magazine article that came out. How obvious was it that he wouldn’t like that one? I doubt we were the only ones surprised that Rockstar gave out the details to Manhunt 2 so early before release. He claims that Take Two are set to sell a game to ‘children’ who’s only purpose is to teach them how to castrate their foes. Typical, that is the only reason people would play the game isn’t it? Forget anything else.
