The Gamechangers background

The Gamechangers

The intense legal battle between Houser and Jack Thompson, a prominent lawyer, centered on the moral implications of the Grand Theft Auto video game series.

In the late 1990s, British brothers Sam and Dan Houser, along with friends, created the video game Grand Theft Auto, set in a fictionalized America. The game's violent content sparked controversy, with critics like the Police Federation and politician Hillary Clinton condemning it. Florida lawyer Jack Thompson, a vocal critic, brought a court case against the game's creators, citing the game's impact on a teenager who committed a killing spree and blamed the game.
