Thompson Wal-Mart victory
Lawyer Jack Thompson claims a direct link between his lawsuit and Wal-Mart's decision to stop pre-orders of Rockstar's Bully, says The Register. In actuality, though Wal-Mart has stopped accepting orders, the company has yet to acknowledge whether the two events are connected. Thompson has also been warning Amazon, GameStop and Toys 'R Us against pre-orders, arguing that since Bully has yet to earn an ESRB rating, potential pre-sale of the "Columbine simulator" (Thompson's words) to children is irresponsible. The latter three companies have yet to back away from the game.
