Jack Thompson finally did something to the games industry we can agree with!

Didn't see this posted so I'm going for it!

I didn't think this day would ever come the man who tried to ban the likes of GTA4 as well as other M rated games, has, while not single handedly, gotten a game canceled. That game, School Shooter: North American Tour. Or something like that. Now, all we need to do to judge this game is the title and some locations, like Virginia Tech and Columbine, to really make a persuesive argument about why this this should never see the light of day. While I think we, system warriors, can all agree the guy is still an all around dick, I think this game being canceled is something system wars can also agree on.

Seriously, a game, where you shoot people, in a high school or college, based on real events. Can you think of a more politically incorrect, obscene, tasteless piece of trash. I didn't think so.

Edit: LOL! I forgot the link!

It happened :P

And sorry about the n4g link, can't link to google translate.

I can't agree on that. At the end of the day, it's a **** GAME.

Bullcrap, I was looking forward to playing that game :evil:

the only thing offensive about the game is that it is a hilariously bad HL2 mod

So he couldn't do anything against real games and now targets crappy free MODS made by angry teenagers? LOL

Yea I was too. Over sensitive people on this planet FTL

The game even looked like crap. Its not cool to play a game that is based on real tragic events where you are the antagonist.

It was not a game I would play however I think that they should be allowed to make it if they want...

political correctness can go **** itself.

It looked boring and awful, nevermind the offensive concept :?. You might as well spawn Citizens in Gmod.

Thats great, but fortunately people have the right to be jackasses and not to be.. Especially when it comes to something like this, nothing is preventing you from moving on.

If you understood psychology, then you would understand why games like those are dangerous.

I don't agree with this. I would never play the game and would be disgusted by it, but playing on what Voltaire said: "I may not like what you create but I will defend to the death your right to create it."

No sorry if we are going to go down that root, I can start argueing that violent video games can be extremely dangerous to begin with.. So yet again.. No your wrong, this is perfectly fine.. Your going come across things in life that you disagree with, the first knee jerk reaction should not be to shut them up.

Damn censorship living in a communist country sucks :(

@Jynxzor

Saw that movie, parts of it were definitely tasteless, but overall it's up to you to make your decision on weather your rooting for the protagonist, and I doubt the majority were. Plus it was'nt based of real events

This games just being offensive for the sake of being offensive.

deangallop

[QUOTE="gaming25"][QUOTE="millerlight89"] I've taken a couple psychology classes in college, so don't preach that BS to me. If this game is dangerous, so are all the other violent games and what about the Russian level in CoD? If people take this **** serious, then that's their own fault. I can't help there are **** up individuals on this planet.

What about WWII games then?

yeah I've agreed with quite a few things jack thompson has said before...his idiotic remarks are actually in the minority.
And yeah this isn't just a game it was specifically made to piss people off. theres a difference between believing what your serving and making something to piss people off and hurt them just cause you want to see them hurt.

I can't agree on that. At the end of the day, it's a **** GAME.

[QUOTE="gaming25"] This type of crap is basically putting someone in an actual event that shouldve never took place. Its easy to see "well screw it, its a game", but that doesnt mean crap when it is something like this.Jynxzor

hope this doesn't lead to a slippery road where every mods are canceled

Sorry but stopping a MOD...Won't end violence...Someone better tell Jack Thompson that...

Have you even seen the game? it is the sloppiest piece of **** i've ever seen in my entire life, in fact, it is so poorly made that a 12-year old could do it in Gmod in an afternoon: Find/make a map resembling a school, find/make custom FPS mesh of a tech 9, spawn lots of city 17 citizens in said map DONE! Modders have been doing this stuff for ages, heck, you can probably find HL2 mods that are alot more offensive than this. To get worked about this is amateur work is more stupid than actually making it.

Eh fine, a mod like that is simply bad for an industry that already faces far to much media scrutiny and criticism. I wasn't going to play it and I'm happy with it being canceled. Sure it's just a game, but it's still disgusting.

Thank you!!!!...People should know by now the difference between games and real life...

You guys that get offend so easily could always not play it. Not like that matters thank to Jack. Gaming is going down the craper when you have people agreeing with this guy. millerlight89

I just think that it would be far more trouble than it would be worth. Plus I can understand how someone who lost a relative in a school shooting would be emotional or upset about the matter. If gaming wants to become recocgnized as a legitimate entertainment medium, a school shooter mod is only going to set that quest back. Plus let's face facts it wasn't going to revolutionary or something. I'm sure in terms of quality it would be no better than thousands of other mods out there.

Actually there are school shootings that can be linked to the film Basketball Diaries. I personally am a firm believer in violent video games, in fact I myself play tons of them and I think they have the right to be made, but something like a school shooter really does cross the line for numerous reasons.
