The Gamechangers Page #8

over the last three years.

You like to use profane language in

your e-mails, don't you, Mr Houser?

Yeah, I'm very sorry about that.

'Mr Thompson...'

...I have reviewed over 2,000 pages

of submitted transcripts

that contend you've abused

the legal system

by submitting numerous frivolous

and inappropriate filings to court,

that you've made false statements

to tribunals

and that you've engaged in

incidents of libel and slander.

The fact is, Your Honour, most

of these accusations are laughable

and motivated by a malicious desire

for revenge due to the civil case

I recently brought

against their clients.

Their accusations stretch

back over 20 years.

That's the legal equivalent

of going through my trash.

And more recently, did you write

to Judge James Moore in Alabama

falsely accusing him of...

"consorting with criminal bodies"?

Your Honour, the real fact

of the matter is

these people don't like me

because I give them the truth

and it hurts like hell.

Hey, man, it's me.

Er, what's happening? How's it gone?

You can't still be in there. Call

me. I want to know what's happening.

'Jack, it's Patti. Please give me

a call when you get out.'

'According to the FTC,

Take-Two and Rockstar

'failed to notify consumers that

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

'contained otherwise hidden nudity

and a sexually-themed mini game.'

The settlement today requires

that the companies must now develop

a system to ensure that all

game content is considered

and reviewed before being submitted

to the ratings authority.

'In other breaking news...'

That's it? They got off.

'..As hurricane-force winds

continue to batter the Bahamas.

'An emergency task force

has been appointed...'

Hey.

Well done.

Wrist slap, no fine,

mustn't happen again.

Couldn't have hoped

for better than that.

You were in there nine hours.

Yep.

I just heard Jack Thompson's

been permanently disbarred

from practising law.

Maybe he'll leave us alone now.

Maybe.

But I doubt it.

I thought you'd be pleased

to know you'd won.

Don Simpson died of a heart attack

on the toilet

with 21 different types of drugs

in his system

and his trousers round his ankles.

He'd had so much cosmetic surgery,

people said he barely looked human.

He's your hero, he is.

Today, I'm announcing,

along with my colleagues,

the Family Entertainment

Protection Act.

This bill will prohibit

the sale of violent

and sexually explicit

video games to minors.

We need to treat violent video games

the way we treat tobacco,

alcohol and pornography...

And Governor Schwarzenegger

has banned the sale of violent games

to minors in California.

You are winning.

What am I winning?

I've been permanently disbarred.

Families of those dead cops

haven't had justice.

Rockstar Games got off scot-free.

'We know that these products

are damaging to children...'

What did I win?

The law is changing.

You're a special lady, Patti.

Thank you.

Thank you for always supporting me.

Erm, excuse me.

You want to let me in?

No.

Was this you running away?

I don't remember the last time

I had any time to myself.

Why are you here?

We need you.

I quit, Sam. I'm going to leave.

Don't leave. I need a break.

Come here.

Come here.

You're one of the most important

people in my life. I need you.

I'm still going to leave,

despite the nice hug.

We're just having a bad time

right now cos people are using us

as a political football, all right?

But that will change.

And we'll get back to normal.

I don't want to go back to normal.

The endless crunch times, running

between eight different studios,

living on a plane and firing people.

It's your company, Sam. Not mine.

Yeah, but you're a key part of it,

mate. I can't do it without you.

But Rockstar belongs

to you and Dan and Terry.

You get all the royalties.

Do you want to give me some of them?

I've been thinking

of quitting myself.

Just stopping the whole thing.

It's not fun any more.

You can't do that.

Look, I can leave but you can't

because you're a proper pioneer, Sam.

You're a genius.

You're changing the way games

are perceived. I don't know, man.

I don't even know what

I'm going to do next.

You'll do your next game...

and it'll be the best one yet.

I know it will.

Hey, what are you doing?!
