He is totally a gamer, but sucks at it, thats why he's trying to destroy the one thing that matters to us, games, and gory ones too. He was just trying to save his ass by saying he was trying to demonstrate that its a fraud.

its not the developers fault for kids getting the game, this would be the person that sold it and the parents that allow it. does a beer factory get blamed when kids buy it underage, no because it carries the age limit, they make it for people my age to which i am grateful. but its atrouishious that he would force his kid to buy a game for him

Nah, it's just because Bioshock is that good.

» It should backfire on him
if it's law to not sell the game to kids, then it should be treated no different than any other law (smokes, drugs, alcohol). You know what happens when your every day joe sends his/her kid to get such items? THEY GO TO JAIL AND CPS TAKES THE KID AWAY.
Mr. Tompson broke the law THE SAME as the employee did by sending his son to go get it. He should be charged as well. Was this done on his own or was it set up with the local authorities? Local authorities or a judge can authorise such an operation but a lawyer IS NOT AN AUTHORITY. Any prosecutor in this situation would use the two wrongs don't make a right tactic against anybody else. Mr. Thompson broke the law. He should loose his f'ing license.

Game stores don't have to do ***** about ratings. esrb is a private company and has nothing to do with the law.

» Nothing's Perfect
No single system is perfect. Underage kids get cigarettes, alcohol, illegal substances, etc. all the damn time. There are checks in place there just as there are in the gaming industry, and for the most part, they work. I remember when I was 16 I couldn't trade in my games because I was not 18. GameCrazy stood up to their values, just as every other game store does. It's only the clerk's fault, who at WORST should get a warning, with repeated offenses resulting in loss of pay or something. The manager shouldn't really be punished...

Also, weird thought, what poor blind lady mated with this "thing" I mean look at him, I'm serious when I say blind, she would have had to been. Either that or it's son was made in a Laboratory.

I don't know the specifics (as in what states/cities) but actually there are State laws popping up everywhere that say clerks have to card the kid to sell the game. Think they did one here in California, although Gov. S. wants to veto the stupid thing (who would have thunk? Actors make more reasonable polititians than career polititians, it seems...), anyway I'm over 30 and I had to show my damn ID to LOOK at an MK Armageddon book at Software Etc!!!

So let me get this straight. Thompson manages to find one store...ONE...that has one clerk...ONE...that will sell an M rated game to a teenager that, as Quixand put it, might look way older for all we know. (Just look at Greg Oden, that dude looks like he's 50, and he's 18)
So after this one encounter at one store with one clerk he's ready to lump all stores and all clerks into a category of "They'll sell anything to anyone."
Well sure, that makes sense...we all know by now that everyone can be judged based on the actions of a few. Just ask the Muslims (thanks, Bin Laden), the Iraqis (thanks, Hussein), the Germans (thanks Hitler), and even the Americans (thanks Bush and McVeigh).
I'm going to go ahead and nominate this guy for Biggest Douche in the Universe award...just in case no one has mentioned it yet.

I see absolutely nothing wrong at all with a game like Bioshock being played by a 15 year old.
Oh noes! He could go to an underwater city and kill psycotic doctors, big daddys and whatnot while trying to survive! It's just way too realistic! Is that blood? Human beings have blood inside them? 15 year old teens aren't supposed to know that shhh!
Everyone that sells games without being anal about age restrictions needs to be fired! Put him on fox news again! I'm sure everyone will be outraged!
Even if a store didn't sell the game to his son, all he did was go to different stores until he found one that did.

» Well...
"According to the email Thompson sent Joystiq, the ace attorney is trying to prove that "hyperviolent and sex-themed Manhunt 2 (Wii, PSP, PS2) and Grand Theft Auto IV (Xbox 360, PS3) will be widely sold to kids of all ages despite promises by Take-Two, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB), and major retailers."
Well, he may be a creep, but he did manage to prove his point, for once.
That being said, I don't think that such media being exposed to someone over 12-13 is such a big deal. I originate from India and I have seen movies with quite a large amount of violence even when I was very young (I guess they were not very serious about the ratings system over there at that time), and yet the ONLY violence I've committed so far is taking part in a State-level Martial Arts competition when I was in University.
To summarize, my opinion, based upon personal experience is that, unless there is a latent (or blatant) tendency to indulge in violence, some exposure to violent media does not really affect the psyche of even young people. This tendency is there from birth, as no child is born with a "tabula rasa" (or clean slate).

This guy is completely after his own interests. He is so convienced in what he believes in he will literally regard any and all evidence to disprove his beliefs that kids are being sold M rated games and M rated games destroy the fabric of American society. He went into one store and it was a BEST BUY. Do you guys ever go to best buy? There is usually a sea of people on line and the clerks are usually underpaid staff that have to get through each customer ASAP. For him to bundle all stores that sell games together like that is immoral and wreckless. If your going to do it right then do it right Pal. Send your poor son to dozens of chains (I'm talking Best buy, Circuit city, Game stop, EB, Walmart, Cosco) And not only that, send him to multiple locations of the same store. This is how you get results, not by using one incident as a statistic to your theory. This should be completely disregarded.
This guy is exactly what is wrong with the rating system for games. Instead of trying to find ways to fix it so that a kid wont be able to purchase M rated games, he wants to get rid of any kind of violence in games. This is a shotgun approach to resolving an issue. I say we leave it to the parents to decide what their kid should be playing. I mean, lets say the kid even gets away with purchasing an M rated game... what kind of a parent doesnt know whats in their kids console? Your telling me a parent never sees whats on the TV screen when their kid is sitting there for hours playing?

Now see, this isn't SO bad.
It's true, the rating system is flawed and places that sell games don't educate their clerks well enough. It's not hard for game retailers to just tell their sales people to ask for identification or to have a parent to buy a certain game.
While Jack Thompson takes these things just a bit too far, and might just be only after his own agenda, this problem is pretty real.

no offense to all you kids, but though i might be willing to buy some of these games for my kids, i want to have some amount of control over which ones they can purchase. its reasonable for a parent to want that, grow up and you'll understand.

» Selling a game to a 15 year old?
Thats nothing really. :P
Imagine selling such games to 5 year olds or even earlier? Kids have been playing gory games since the first known violent computer games (hence Mortal Kombat, Doom I/II, etc.). I see nothing wrong with children playing violent games, as long they know how to distinguish between fantasy and reality. To tell ya the truth, I been playing bloody games since childhood (which I bet many of ya have).
How about selling a game to a 40-year old dude who can't distinguish between fantasy and reality? If such a person did that because of violent games, age has nothing to do with it. Its the matter of person's maturity and being able to distinguish whats real and whats fake. I'm 19 right now, but have been playing violent games since about 7.
Remember folks, its the maturity and being able to distinguish the differences that matters, not age.

And right now, the ESBR is sued non-stop (or accused of something) so the rating should get lower by the time (I mean, a cartoon is more violent then a movie? wtf).

What law dows it state that it is illegal to sell a M-rated game to a 15-year-old? The ESRB is a volentary rating system, meaning that stores don't have to listten to it. So, no crime was comitted here, and Jack Thompson should concentrate on somthing more important.
