Whomever has reported this story because it's about Jack Thompson, think before you mindlessly report - you may disregard his ideals, but you really have no idea how they could affect you in the future.

FerretWithASpork6177d ago

Did you even read the interview, or the news story's description? Neither of them state the author's opinion, the interview is very professional and very informative about Jack's views and methods of fighting for his beliefs.

ihaten4glol6177d ago

I was speaking of the report the submission got, not the content itself. =/

FerretWithASpork6177d ago

Ahh, I see, my apologies then. I thought you were referring to the interview/submission as a report.

Sorry about that.

As a student at Virginia Tech, I am utterly appalled by Mr. Thompson's continued showing of ignorance and disrespect. The people who died on this campus deserve some sort of honor for the lives they lived but instead, Jack Thompson seeks to use their deaths as a platform for his ridiculously radical beliefs and views.

I will not stoop to a low level and insult him or wish harm upon him. I just want to say that I am completely shocked by the way he throws around peoples lives and I hope to never hear from him again.

As for violent games, everyone who plays them knows that thinking they cause violence is absolutely absurd. Keep the games away from your 8 year old kids and stop trying to blame the world for the problems you have caused. This world is a messed up place, and there is a lot more evil at work in it than violent games.

Sorry for the rant I'm just really flustered and offended. Doesn't happen to me often either...

Great interview you've got here. That guy is quite the nut job! Personally I believe that it's the parent's jobs to raise the children right, and with morals!

Would of gotten GTA 4 banned. That game stunk really badly. So boring and repetitive. Almost more repetitive then Assassins creed.

Anon19746177d ago

That made me smile, you know...because so many people love Jack Thompson. :)

"Hate him or meerly dislike him..." is probably more accurate.

FragMnTagM6177d ago (Edited 6177d ago )

my whole life and never once had the urge to kill anyone because I was raised RIGHT and know that killing people in the real world is WRONG. I used to work for Wal-Mart selling games in the electronics department and let me tell you, THEY ARE VERY STRICT on Identification to purchase adult content. In fact, it is an automatic termination if you don't ID a kid that is underage. The only way I have ever been able to obtain a violent video game when I was underage was to get an adult to do it.

Same thing goes for beer, and cigarettes. When I was underage, I could not buy them anywhere around where I live, but it was very easy to say to a bum, "hey man go buy me a pack of cigs, or beer and I'll give you five bucks", and BAM! you got yourself illegal products. So half of his argument is null and void right there.

Metacritic Removes Resident Evil 9 Review From Fake AI Writer

Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."

Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.

Eonjay1d 17h ago (Edited 1d 17h ago )

This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.

I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.

Christopher1d 16h ago

N4G doesn't allow AI-generated content. Please report as you see necessary.

Mr_cheese1d 8h ago

Isnt videogamer one of the N4G owner run sites?

Seems to fit their MO to cut corners and push cheap dribble.

Christopher1d 2h ago

Check the last time one of their articles was added to the site.

OMGitzThatGuy22h ago

Check my comments, over a year ago I was calling out videogamer and N4G on their AI articles pushing slop 24/7

Christopher21h ago

I can confirm that those older articles were not AI, just not great.

TheColbertinator1d 15h ago

It is amazing but I'm starting to slightly miss the moron gaming press we had in the 2010s because at least they were human.

MrDead1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

It was "written" by Asha Sharma I hear.
