Forums - Sony - Sony hires Deutsch, Jack Thompson Sympathizer

Maybe there'll be only flowers and teddybears in PS3 adds from now on?!
Seriously though, even though he symapthises with the dude, let's hope they're not agreed on every single thing.
Thompson is very...flailing in his statements at times, often referring to scientific studies or facts that were/are never there.
It's okay for him to hate games (and those who make them to a certain extent), but he's very unproffessional as a lawyer.



Around the Network

People are going soft on Thompson because he took a break from videogame-bashing for the past few months.

Never forget, people! JT is a major asshole, who immediately blames school shootings and other tragedies on videogames! Plus...he's an asshole!

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

JT is a doof.

Duetch is pretty cool though, he's not really a sympathiser and could hardly be characterized as one of those people who thinks that society goes on the downslope as a result of violence in games/movies/music or even as a conservative. Deutch graduated from an Ivy league university and has the advertising experience to back himself up in this role. I'm sure that a big part of this decision came from Deutch's role as a host of his TV show, "Speaking Deutch" where he brings guests on that have done amazing and creative things in business. No doubt that he'll be plugging Sony and the PS3 a lot so imo this looks like a better/less weird move by sony than fishynads is trying to make it look.



Thanks to kenobi after I got him to ban my old account (dallas) after someone hacked into it and being ok with me coming back under a slightly different username.  I appreciate our communication in the PMs.  Also I want to give a big thank you to vgchartz for being one of the cooler websites around. 

Oh, and I'm still the next Michael Pachter

I could care less about JT's nonsensical ramblings. He has already lost all credibility as a lawer and as a critic of video games.

I hate him because he made the offer to donate $10,000 a charity if someone made a game with a vengeful father killing game developers and copany execs, and when it was done he said it was just satire. That is a scumbag thing to do.

I strongly disapprove of him and I let the world know it in my 11 page published essay on video game controversy and the resulting censorship.

 He really did that? It's more likely that someone will make a game where you can kill HIM...  What an assbag he is, almost like a videogame Dr. Phil.



Yeah, he did. Then Penny Arcade donated the money and they donated it "For Jack Thompson, because he won't"

Well, the Norwegian government has been talking about refugees and immigrants in hiding, could these be it?
