2006-05-09 - ESRB rating change revisited Options

[stargelman]

You knew this would happen.

You just knew it would happen when you heard that Oblivion's rating was changed by the ESRB on the grounds that "the game contains hidden nudity".

You just knew he would get involved to spread FUD.

It is also clear that Take-Two corporately and its senior officers, including CEO Paul Eibeler, individually, must now be prosecuted criminally for the knowing distribution of "sexual material harmful to minors" which is a felony in most states and nationally. The undersigned intends to work toward that end immediately.

...

Its popular and newly released Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion has now been re-rated "Mature" and recalled by the ESRB because Take-Two and its co-publisher have been caught embedding nude figures and scenes in the game which can be unlocked with a code provided by the developer. This is not a modification or "mod" of the game by gamers. It is an unlocking of content that was put there by Take-Two with the unlocking code provided by the developer!

Go read Jack Thompson's press release over at Games First.

Maybe have a good laugh. Or maybe frown and understand that this guy is a serious threat to the gaming industry and all happy gamers, because there's enough people in influental positions that don't know any better or try to make profit of this and support his agenda.

Now, you probably haven't seen what the fuss is all about. Can't have that.

Oblivion's Harmful Boobs

That idiot Jack Thompson just doesn't quit, does he?

Here are 2 of his gems:

1. Jackie told that he bought stocks from Take-Two and he saw on meetings what they actually do.

-Only one problem: He must have much stocks to go on meetings and because he doesn't have so much money, everyone knows that he is daydreaming

2. He'll pay 10 000$ to anyone who makes this game:
A guy calles Mikuyaka had a son who was killed because his friends were playing too much violent games. Now Miuyaka takes weapon in his hands and starts killing game sellers, game developers and other until the big finale: E3!!! And the game must be full of blood!

-Would you now take this guy siriously?


Just forget about him. He only won the fight with GTA: SA because it had more then boobs in it but it is GTA's fold. Jackie is just an harmles idiot.
