Update, March 7: Anti-violent videogame activist Jack Thomspon wants to play a part in this week’s White House meeting.
If you were a videogame fan in the early 2000s, you probably remember the name Jack Thompson. He came to prominence as a critic of obscenity in media, especially sex and violence in videogames, and as an attorney attempted to take legal action against publishers and retailers selling violent games. Thompson largely fell out of the public eye after being disbarred 2009, but with public interest in violent games flaring up again it seems he seeks to make a return.
Thompson emailed Kotaku’s Jason Schreier to say he intends to get involved with the White House meeting on violent games scheduled for tomorrow. In the apparently unsolicited email Thompson asks “So, Jason, is Trump going to meet with Mexican drug cartel lords to ask them what to do about the opioid crisis. [sic] I need to be in that meeting, and I’m working on it, trust me. Jack Thompson (yes, THAT Jack Thompson).”
