EA rejects Jack Thompson's help in Take-Two take over |

Anti-video game violence attorney Jack Thompson who previously expressed his interest in helping Electronic Arts take over Take-Two Interactive has received a reply from the industry giant. Through careful wording, EA told Thompson that his involvement is not necessary.
Here's the letter EA's Senior Manager of Corporate Communications Mariam Sughayer sent the Florida lawyer, verbatim:
We have received your letter to EA's shareholder site. In response to your offer to assist in the proposed acquisition of Take-Two, we would strongly prefer that you not get involved in this matter. EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers. We feel that your past statements - including false claims about content in our games - make any collaboration with you impossible.
A few days ago, Thompson offered his service to EA as a Take-Two shareholder who believes T2 CEO Strauss Zelnick "is the source of trouble headed Take-TwoÂ’s way." That's after he accused publisher EA as the culprit behind nudity in The Sims 2.

No. In reality the best thing any first second or third party developer could ever do is keep their distance from 'video satan- I mean jack thompson.

It's just like the situation in movies: guy "befrends target, and 'accepts' them into the group" Guy thinks nothing is wrong, untill one day the plan is put into motion, and by then its too late for the guy. he ends up getting killed because of that.
