I'll bet Shakespeare compromised himself a lot; anybody who's in the entertainment industry does to some extent.

The corrupted and corrupting video game industry will, of course, challenge this law once it is signed by Governor Blanco. The reason is that this industry, through the ESRB (Entertainment Software Rating Board), its developers' lobbyist, the ESA (Entertainment Software Association), and the retailers' lobbyist, IEMA (Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association) are involved in ongoing fraudulent conduct in marketing video games that contain adult material to children.

The government is already involved from an entertainment standpoint. I mean, they regulate a large part of our entertainment. What we're trying to do as an industry is be proactive and drive it much more positively, much more effectively, than the government can, and that's what the ESA is all about[....]We think we're doing a pretty effective job, and certainly from an Nintendo perspective, we think the ESA is the way to go.
Reggie Fils-Aime
Assumption, speculation and gossip. The entertainment industry is full of them. I have been in the industry for 11 years, but these activities have not changed. What is worst is that people don't clarify things first before jumping to conclusions. They rather live with the misunderstandings.

Here's the Senate Testimony GP Doesn't Want You to See This is straight from the Subcommittee's site. Note that Hal Halpin never testified. But Steve Strickland did, and he notes my role in this on behalf of his family and the other bereaved families. We are going to destroy Rockstar in Alabama, and the rest of the entertainment industry is going to learn a lesson that will change how adult-rated entertainment is marketed and sold. All of you who get upset about this will please go to Hell more quietly. Thanks. Jack Thompson

Twenty-eight years ago, I created my first game on an Apple II in my bedroom closet at a time when the interactive entertainment industry was taking its first baby steps. Today the games business has grown to a multi-billion dollar industry and we are just at the tip of the iceberg. I'm thrilled to have been a part of this successful journey and I'm extremely honored by the Academy's Hall of Fame induction.
