In a bit of a shock Take-Two and vidoegame critic and part time ambulance chaser John "Jack" Thompson. The settlement's details are pretty vague, but part of the deal will see Thompson curb his criticism and public outbursts against Take-Two.
As part of the settlement filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Thompson has agreed to not restrict sales through any court worldwide of Take-Two's games or threaten to sue the company and to not accuse Take-Two of any wrongdoing based on the sale of any of its games. This news makes little or no sense given Thompson's renewed campaign on television to blame vidoegames for violent crimes like the recent Virginia Tech murders.
