Judge Clears Bully For Publishing
stupid_is writes "The BBC are reporting that Judge Ronald Friedman has cleared Bully for publication in Florida. Jack Thompson is, predictably, critical of the decision, stating "You did not see the game, you don't even know what it was you saw." after Take-Two gave him the game, along with someone to play the game for him to watch before he made a decision." This is a follow-up to our story last week about Take-Two handing over copies of Bully per court order.
No, he's saying the employee would be biased.

Since the game has a Teen rating in the USA and a 15 rating here in Europe, I think that buying a copy and giving it to a twelve year-old would only be helping Mr Thompson's case!
Reality is defined by the maddest person in the room
I think you are ignoring the point. The point Mr. Thompson is making is that there is a possible conflict of interest for the person who played the game for the court. The court wants to know what a typical game experience would be like to know whether it would incite angsty teenagers or angsty twenty-somethings to violence. The person playing the game does not share the motivation, and in fact that person is motivated to show that the game is not too violent. The person demonstrating the game has the power to influence what the evidence will be be for the court.
