Manhunt 2 News | Take Two Sues JT
via Manhunt Uncut:
Take Two have decided it is time to sue Jack Thompson for his recent efforts to try and ban Manhunt 2 and GTA IV. In 3 days time (Monday) Jack puts his claim in to ban those games, as mentioned in a previous news post. This has prompted Take Two to launch a pre-emptive attack by petitioning to the ‘United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida’ they seek to stop the game being declared a ‘public nuisance’ under Florida law. Here is a little from the claim:
|
“Thompson has a history of making multiple threats of legal action, whether substantiated or not, both against (Take Two) as well as the retailers who purchase the video games and offer them for sale to the public. Thompson has made such threats again in connection with Manhunt 2 and GTAIV…” |
All i can say is he had it coming to him, he hasn’t even seen the game yet and he is trying to block Manhunt 2 from coming out. Serves him right, i hope they get Jack Thompson declared a ‘public nuisance’ maybe then Take Two will get a break for a while. You may remember the trouble with Canis Canem Edit (Bully) coming out in October 2006, Jack’s claim to ban the game was rejected that just goes to show that his claims are not substantiated, there isn’t even a gun in that game and it was rated a 15 (Teen). Take Two have also said they wish to claim their attorney fees and other costs from Jack, since they have been forced into action by him. Hopefully this is the last we hear from Jack Thompson regarding the matter, although i doubt it.
