Apparently Kotaku has unhinged Jack.
After Kotaku dissected Jack Thompson's latest appearance on national television trying to connect the tragedy at Virginia Tech with video games, the attorney started emailing them... again.
First Jack tried to tie them to allegations that a 14-year-old made a threat against the University of California Berkley campus by emailing one of the sergeants of the campus police. After speaking with the sergeant actually handling the investigation (not the one Jack emailed) Kotaku was told that there was nothing to worry about.
Next Jack asked Kotaku to remove their analysis of his misstatements on national television and when they politely declined Jack faxed the FBI in Colorado:
"Dear FBI:
This web site at the below url is targeting me:

I ask that something be done by the FBI to stop this or prosecute it..."

Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
Deliver Us Mars developer Keoken Interactive has laid off the majority of its staff after struggling to secure funding …
The industry model and standards and who's in place to approve/disapprove have changed ^ what Keoken is feeling now is much like the Mobile burst 15 years ago. Expect more to come out of your own finances. Investors are treating games like movies and now (thank$ a lot for involving yourself hollywood) only the big (and money blind) investors get involved, effectively killing a lot of content that would come out with proper non-gate-kept and/or with incentivized funding.
Sorry but i couldn't care less, Deliver us Mars was as woke game as they come, climate change disaster, all female cast plus only a comic relief indian guy (it takes only 5 minutes into the game for the main female character to say how smart she is compared to the guy), evil white guys, ugly females, then add generic gameplay and puzzles (how many times do you have to cut things with a laser for gods sake), you can't change anything in how the events develop so 0 agency in the story, sub par graphics even while using UE4. So well, go woke go broke, that's how it works.
That stinks but with a 68 average critic rating on their games probably made it difficult for people to invest considering there is a bloat of games getting made these days.
Holy 'pot calling the kettle black', Batman!
Hey, Jack: Prosecute THIS, you miserable waste of body organs.
(Please feel free to interpret "THIS" as you see fit.)
This guy never gets bored.He needs a new hobby.
WOW Kotaku got themselves into this mess. Satire won't work well with this Jack, if anything defamation, you can be sure he will sued until he died. Yup that man is that free. It is best to ignore him rather than insulting him, after all we got our life to move on, we dont have time for his stupid law suit like he do. Poor Kotaku..
This is perfect, now everyone will believe us when we say this guy is a looney tune! (like they didn't already)
Jack say hello to a padded cell, and your new boyfriend a 300lb axe wielding murderer that loves GTA!
Have fun, u wackjob!
I find it highly unlikely that Jack Thompson actually wrote what they claim to be in the so-called "fax".
He's a freakin' lawyer. That "fax" seemed to be written by a 4th grader.
Make no mistake about it, the guy is still a COMPLETE tool!... but as said, I highly doubt he actually wrote that.
I think this is just some sort of stunt to get more hits on that article / website.
