All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

You know that saying about hurting the ones you love? Well it works both ways... it seems like Jack Thompson manage to ruin his reputation and credibility even more by backing up on his word for the $10,000 donation to whoever would create his game. After several submitted games and mods, he deemed that it was all a obvious satire and never intended as a real proposal.

'The same day he promised to donate the money in case someone would make a game with his story, I did this, and emailed it to him: Jack Thompson game He replied to me about how it would have to be a game made by a professional game company, and not a "gamer in a basement", even though that was not a requirement in his original promise. I told him I am the owner of a registered game developement company, and did the game during my coffee break, and that all his criteria had been met now [other than that the game would have to be released in 2006, but that would be just a matter of waiting]. He simply just replied with "You can't produce a full-blown commerical game on your coffee break. get lost.".'

The authors of the web comic Penny-arcade decided to donate $10,000 out of their own pocket to Entertainment Software Association Foundation just to prove that they are bigger men than Thompson will ever be, and they made the donation in his name. All work and no play, that's Jack, he doesn't even try the games, he's just working so he can get them banned, without knowing what he wants to prohibit.
