Hate criminals who blame videos games, just cause they wanted to kill someone.

Have you heard of Jack Thompson trying to stop GTA:IV On Xbox 360? This guy has tried for years to ban GTA:IV from USA. Hopefully he will fail from doing so. :D

Yeah that guy has something against Rockstar games, he tryed to stop "Bully" from being released, but Rockstar games was smart and just changed the name and made up some story.

"He wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game." "He wanted to find out if it was as easy in real life to rob a taxi as it was in the game."  - IS THIS GUY FCKIN RETARDED????? Wow. Seriously, they're mental. They deserve to be in a hospital for the rest of their lives, away from TV, Games, Computer, and other things like that..

I couldn't agree more, I think it's childish how criminal blame there actions on video games, It's like saying you beat your children just cuzz you saw it on T.V :lol:

Do not forget that among those stories most are paid by producers to make games being more popular...

The system works the next way:

They are signing the deal where are all options and prices of all sides... One side starts a scandal, paid press supports and bringing it on public, in the end all finishes for both sides on the same level as it was... With one difference - the scandal-man gets rewarded...

So do not call Jack Thompson an idiot... ;)

Jack Thompson has been barred from filing reports on this kind of thing by himself, actually. The only way he can go against video games is if he represents someone else as a lawyer.

And Thompson's moaning has made GTA considerably more popular, so it works for me.  :)

From Rockstar ~ "Any publicity is good publicity"
Listen to RON, he speaks the truth.

But if these "inspired retards" keep it up, GTA will be banned globally and we cannot have that. You know how some government retards are against video games and fun :neutral:

"We are sending out requests today to outlets and shops to pull the games off their shelves and we will replace them with other games. We are also urging video game arcades to pull the games from service," said Sakchai Chotikachinda, sales and marketing director of New Era Interactive Media.

I did not find any word about Courts Cases, and official announcement... And I doubt all Thailand shops removed GTA IV from sell... :D From what I understood - its just like a petition "Lets do it"...

If there will not be any Courts Case against Rockstar Games which will finish with the real banning GTA IV from Thailand - it is all just a new commercial... There were enough "promotes" of GTA IV by the "real criminals"...

Ask him if he has raised you in such a bad way that he can not trust in you knowing the difference between a game and real life.

i had a really long talk with him,
and i told him that over 500 million of the Total GTA games have been sold, and only 2 people have done such things and blamed it on GTA.
he is letting my play on it now, but for a reduced time only, as im only 13  :devroll:
ive gotten in Alot of fights at School, all for stupid reasons, if my dad knew, he wouldnt let me play anymore :(

i play GTA from since the release of Gta Vice City back in 2002. So i guess i was 9 then, I was young, but i did never Fight or do anything out of the ordinary with moves or idiot things from GTA .
My mom also trusts me on that and i know i will never kill someone like a gangsta with CJ - Copycat moves..
To badd some parents don't realize that, altought it's pity that they're scared.

Yeah and that would suck, It's dumb how things work. Something like his happened to with man hunt. Some kids killed someone, and he learned it from man hunt and became banned. I don't know where this happened though, but it did.

otherwise you have jack thompson and alot of other people  :mad: that there are children in violence, and then they start to hallucinate that some random pedo played the Beta version of it before he started to molest them... Recently some 11 year boy was killed in France.. Probably a Gta with kids could be pointed for smtng like that... I Don't get those weirdo's.. In some movie i saw once how kids were murdered and blablabla ... That was more discusting than just some Gta... But i dont think they realise that... Saw, Hostel, all those movies are more worse and sicker than Gta ....
