Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the try-not-to-get-laughed-out-of-court-again dept.

An anonymous reader writes to mention that Jack Thompson, in his latest bout of zealotry, has set his sights on Microsoft for their recent release of Halo 3. GameAlmighty has posted the letter to Bill Gates. "Here's the deal, Mr. Gates: Either Microsoft undertakes dramatic, real steps, through its marketing, wholesale, and retail operations to assure that Halo 3 is not sold, via the Internet and in stores, directly to anyone under 17, or I shall proceed to make sure that Microsoft is held to that standard by appropriate legal means. I have done that before successfully as to Best Buy, and I shall do so again as to Microsoft and all retailers of Halo 3."

      Everyone knows Thompson only markets games. His lawsuits are sideshows for excited teenagers and parents to get informed of the hottest new title.
      I call bullshit. MS is only doing this to get street cred with the kids about how "realistic" or "adult" their latest Halo is.
