Bill Gates receives threatening letter from Jack Thompson over GTA IV.
Microsoft head honcho Bill Gates has already received a threatening letter from everyone’s favorite lawyer, Jack Thompson for Grand Theft Auto IV, a game that hasn’t even been released. Jack Thompson is of the opinion that Microsoft should refrain from “participating in any fashion, directly or indirectly, in such sales (of the game) to minors.”

Surprisingly, Sony who is also releasing the game for the PS3 on the very same day hasn’t got any sort of warning from Thompson. Either way I doubt MS plans on giving up this franchise, which I’m sure they paid a bomb for.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
