Jack Thompson: 0, Common Sense: 1. A Florida court has ruled in favor of Rockstar Games, denying Jack Thompson’s request to restrict sales of the game Bully, scheduled for release next Tuesday. Thompson originally went to court over Bully, Thompson went to court, claiming the game would inspire for more school violence. After the ruling, Thompson wrote a letter to the judge, expressing his feelings,

Thompson wasn’t interested in an appeal, since that would happen after the game has been released.
