By Take Two funnily enough.

Notice at the end of the article how Jacky-boy' s threatening a 46% stock coup. Y' think he' s talking through his ass, or he' s actually got something planned?

This is awsome! I bet they can win too. If they do Jack will be finished, even if they don' t destroy him economically they will open the doors for other publishers to counter sue. Jack is walking on thin ice now.

He doesn' t have any. He' s gilded, a eunuch (no offense to eunuchs everywhere).


So successful has Thompson been in exposing the fraud and criminal conduct of Take-Two on the national stage… that a corporate coup by 46% of Take-Two’s shareholders is set for March 23, which nearly all financial analysts… are predicting will be successful and which will result in the firing of all Take-Two management and the entire board…


Ugh. Does Thompson really have that much money? And if the IPs belong to the ' management and the entire board' , what' s to stop them from just getting severance pay and setting up another studio while Thompson burns his own money?

I think he' s finally snapped. Yep, delusions of grandeur, acute paranoia, awful hair, Jackie boy should be in therapy right now on some South Pacific island, preferably one with lots of cannibals who only eat lawyers. (Hey, I think I just solved most of the world' s problems!)

He' s probably laying the groundwork for running for various political offices later on.

The only reason we can' t go out and kill the prick is because the few supporters he has will use that in argument and protest against violent games for future lawsuits. Thats the only thing keeping the annoying bastard alive. Him and his followers are annoying as is...and seeing media headlines like " Videogames Kill Jack Thompson" is just one more annoyance that I dont care to see...sort of. hell maybe its worth it?

s on the Internet and Elsewhere:

I have been praying, literally, that Take-Two and its lawyers would do something so stupid, so arrogant, so dumb, even dumber than what they have to date done


I agree that they have done pretty stupid stuff up to date, but i want them to fix their stupid mistakes, not make more of them

From Gamasutra:


Major publisher and developer Take-Two (Grand Theft Auto series) has announced that it is considering a sale of the company, following a fierce shareholder battle which threatens to depose major executives and the board.

A group of prominent Take-Two investors owning 46% of the company' s shares, including OppenheimerFunds, D.E. Shaw Valence Portfolios, S.A.C. Capital Management and Tudor Investment, are looking to remove current CEO Paul Eibeler and bring about changes within the company' s board of directors.

Due to this, Take-Two has announced that it has postponed its annual meeting from March 23rd until March 29th " ...to provide additional time to review the proposed actions of the shareholder group and also to evaluate alternative courses of actions that could potentially be presented to the shareholders."

The main example of an alternative course of action is " a possible sale of the Company" , though the official notice also notes: " There is no assurance that any specific alternative proposal will be forthcoming."

Take-Two’s recently restated financial results for fiscal 2006 saw revenue fall and the company record a net loss of $184.9 million. In addition, Wedbush Morgan' s Michael Pachter recently issued a statement to his firm' s clients, calling Take Two' s shares “overvalued” and the company' s path ahead “troubling.”

Nonetheless, the announcement has sharply affected Take-Two' s shares in pre-market trading, with the company' s Nasdaq-traded shares up almost $1.50 to $22.26 thanks to news of the possible sale.



Thompson is out of his f#&%ing mind! The T2 board reshuffling is incidental to whatever Thompson has been up to.

I may hate Jack Thompson' s actions, but battles like this are so exciting. Take Two, I put my trust into you. The fate of the world depends on it...

... sort of...
