Sony, Walmart, Gamestop, and Take Two.
If their was fault, and their isnt any except on the kid because he is a dumbass, it certaintly doesnt lie with the first 3 companies.
You cant sue sony just because they put the game out on your platform.
I read in the paper they are trying to sue Walmart and Gamestop because apparently the kid bought the games their and them being mature games required him to be 17+ to by them, but was never carded. I have worked at albertsons for 2 years as customer service and I know for a fact that the companies are not liable for what 1 person did wrong. They have shit all over the store that says we card for this and that, which immediately makes them non-liable for anything, as long as it is present and viewable. The person who sold it to them probably wouldnt be sued either, just fired from the company.
Now Take-Two however, can be sued. Its sad to know that, but is very liable to happen. If the suit does go through, this is the only company I can see losing the case. The argument is that the game made the kid violent, and the counter will be that it didnt. Then the judge and jury will see the game and be like "oh all that is horrible!" and then judge to the plaintiff.
Shit like this just pisses me off. The kid should be taken out into the middle of the street and shot in both of his knee caps, then clubbed to death with a bat.
