okay most of you know jack thomson is the guy trying to sue video game companies that are producing violent games

but if you read this article

http://gc.advancedmn.com/article.php?artid=5883

he is offering 10 grand to a charity "take two" if someone will make his game

the game is about a father seeking revenge for the death of his son, his son killed by a gamer

so what do we make of this

jack thomson never really wanted to fuck over the gamers

he was trying to get his game made, this whole time

I was gonna post this 2 days ago, but realized AMN isn't too reliable, so I was waiting for IGN or Gamespot to say it.

They haven't yet.

First of all, is it really "charity" if you're asking something in return? Why not just donate the money for the sake of helping other people, Jack? Why do you have to use it as a publicity stunt to try and keep yourself in the spotlight?

But what got me the most is that Jack knows nobody is going to take him up on his offer, and that fact means this whole thing is just a desparate cry for attention. I'll bet he's thinking that he's so damned clever for coming up with that well-planned jab at the video game industry, but the rest of us folk with a fully-functional brain just have to wonder... what the fuck? I've seen better insults made by kids with two brain-cells left after a whip-it* bender.

Ten-thousand dollars is a lot of money, and would really benefit some charities. But why would a video game company spend the millions of dollars it takes to design, develop, produce and market a video game, when they could just donate the ten grand themselves and be done with it? Why don't you offer something that would actually motivate these companies, such as offering to throw yourself off a cliff.

Anyway, for the record, I agree with keeping violent video games out of the hands of children under 18. Make it illegal for a minor to buy M-rated video games. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. However that is where the line is drawn.

I'm an adult, and if I want to play a video game that contains violence or sex, that's my constitutional right. And it's the right of the developers to create these games

Don't start trying to fuck with the choices of adults, Jack, unless you're prepared to take on pornography, alcohol, cigarrettes and gambling. And booze, cigs and poker have been proven to have negative mental and physical effects on people. You can't say that about video games.

And pornography... well porn is just great. Everyone loves porn.

man I don't want to not play m games

these days the rating industry is so fucked that any game with a story line featuring anything relatable to real life or interesting is considered adult and given an m rating

No he just wants to take a jab at the gaming idustry because he knows no one will make a shitty game like that for him when they could just donate the 10 grand themselves and save the millions of dollars it takes to develope a video game.
