Jack Thompson gets the boot

The titles a bit misleading, but you have to use the original title.

However looks like JT has made an even bigger idiot of himself and been temporarily suspended from praticing law in Alabama, with the judge QUOTE

He reported Thompson's conduct to the Disciplinary Commission of the Alabama Bar, and issued a scathing 18-page beatdown. Writeth the judge:

"Mr. Thompson's actions before this Court suggest that he is unable to conduct himself in a manner befitting practice in this state."

This could be the start of something great for the videogames industry.

they should just take away his license and be done with it, Jack is such a jackass for picking on video games. it would be funny if he was kidnapped by some game developers and got beaten senselessly.

Salvadore6761d ago

I agree, JT should be stripped from this license because he's a disgrace to all laywers out there.

gta_cb6761d ago

hahaha unlucky JT

"he is unable to conduct himself in a manner befitting practice in this state"

AngryTypingGuy6761d ago

"Jack Thompson gets the boot"...hopefully right in the crotch.

gta_cb6761d ago

Alymon6761d ago

Look at the date of the article. It's from November of 2005.

Over 2 years old. Who the hell approved this???

Dark_Overlord6761d ago

Yes you are right just checked, sorry my bad. I was browsing through recent articles and this came up and I obviously didn't check the date as it was in recent articles.

So sorry I f*cked up

Alymon6761d ago

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.
