He is hated by gamers everywhere, and is the one who tried (but failed) to get Bully pulled off shelves before it was released. He made outrageous claims that it was a Columbine simulator, and that if kids got the game they would start massive killing sprees. He went on the detail things about the game that were completely false, since he had not seen the game at all he made up stuff to make it sound worse. He demanded that Rockstar show him a copy of the game before it's release so he could judge weather it was right for people to buy it. This of course goes against free speech but that did not seem to matter to Jack. He ended up taking it to court after ERSB gave it a teen rating, and lost terribly, and when the judge went over the game seeing fit for the teen rating, he apparently called the judge an idiot, and said there was gay sex in it, if you count two boys kissing as gay sex, which is all there was. He has gone against Rockstar for Manhunt, GTA games in general, and more recently he threatened to sue Kotaku because some of the member of the forum said that he should be "Beaten in the head of a baseball bat" or something along those lines. He made an agreement with Rockstar after they threatened to sue him, so that he can't sue them anymore. I would have sued the bastard to the ground, since he made clear public announcements about the game Bully that were in no way true at all, so that really is illegal.

So in other words, he is a complete and total douche-bag

I hate people like that, people don't go on killing spree's by playing violent games. They do so on their own free will, or if they were crazed!

buying M rated games FOR those under 17? they must mean if its not the parents buying it. i think everyone in the age group of 17-25 doesnt care, over 25 maybe, parents will definately like this, and everyone under 17 will be a little mad.
