Jack Thomspon and TS2

I have to be honest that as soon as I heard about this GTA hack I thought immediately about TS2. NOT because I find anything inappropriate or sexual about TS2 but because I love the game and I know how stupid people can be. The more I read on this the more I think this Jack Thomspon guy is just trying to stir the waters. He appears to me to be more ignorant than anything else. I am willing to bet the man has never played the game and really that gives him no basis for his claims. If he had played the game he would realize there is nothing to get all worked up over.

I don't think it is the fault of EA or Maxis that modders can create realistic nude sims. That is beyond their control. Sure, they encourage custom content but they do not encourage content that alters the rating. And yeah, there is a cheat to remove the blur but so what? You remove the blur and low and behold it is a (as so many others have pointed out) a Barbie doll. And let's be honest. Hackers and modders are intelligent, they know what they are doing when it comes to code. If people can hack into the most secure mainframes and can find holes in operating systems can we really expect game manufacturers to make sure all their code is airtight when Microsoft can't?

On another note, going beyond the nudity. How in the world can anyone compare GTA and TS2? The games are SO different. The objectives aren't even close to being the same and what about the fact that objective GTA involves activities that are illegal. As far as I know there isn't anything that happens in TS2 that is illegal.

So that is a bit of my two cents. This guy has no basis and if he does come out to attack it, I say we Simmers out there come out by the thousands in support of our beloved game.
