Love him or hate him, the industry's most controversial figure comes for an exclusive interview, as Jack Thompson once again takes the hot seat for another round of grilling and thrilling. We welcome Jack back to discuss the recent passing and subsequent veto of Utah's House Bill 353, as well as his recent letter to President Obama.
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
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.
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.
That made me smile, you know...because so many people love Jack Thompson. :)
"Hate him or meerly dislike him..." is probably more accurate.
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.
