As you may or may not have heard by now, Jack Thompson is trying (or has tried, I should say) to help EA with its recent bid to take Take Two Interactive, creators of the popular Grand Theft Auto Series. Not only did EA blatantly refuse Jack's offer, they wrote a rather unflattering letter that has been circulated over the Internet much to the amusement of gamers. Apparently, EA hasn't forgotten the false statements that Jack Thompson has made about the popular Sims 2 franchise. (Below is EA's letter to Thompson).


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Thompson,

We have received your letter to EA’s shareholder site. In response to your offer to assist in the proposed acquisition of Take-Two, we would strongly prefer that you not get involved in this matter. EA is a strong supporter of creative freedom for game developers. We feel that your past statements – including false claims about content in our games – make any collaboration with you impossible.

Sincerely,
Mariam Sughayer
Sr. Manager Corporate Communications
Electronic Arts, Inc.
