Red_91 Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Jack Thompson and Take-Two Bury the Hatchet Both parties drop their lawsuits. by Micah Seff US, April 20, 2007 - GamePolitics is reporting that Florida lawyer and anti-videogame crusader, Jack Thompson has reached a settlement with Take-Two. Under the terms of the agreement, Thompson would refrain from pestering the publisher regarding its future releases. Thomspon agreed not to sue to block the sale or distribution of any future games published by Take-Two or any of its subsidiaries. Furthermore, Thompson will no longer be able to bring his accusations regarding Take-Two's games directly to the publisher or any of its business associates. Thompson will be restricted to communicating through Take-Two's attorneys on any future matters. Thompson will still be able to maintain his outspoken stance against the publisher's titles, as well as still being allowed to act as counsel in lawsuits brought against Take-Two by other parties. Take-Two has agreed to dismiss its federal lawsuit against Jack Thomspon for his threats to block the future sales of the upcoming Rockstar titles, Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt 2. The publisher is also agreeing to drop its contempt of court lawsuit against Thompson regarding alleged improper conduct during the Bully court hearings in Florida. A hearing on the matter was scheduled for tomorrow morning, which might have possibly resulted in the jailing of Jack Thomspon had he been found in contempt. This is from IGN, this is great news for TT. What do you guys think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
