    That wont shut him up though. He'll probably just claim it's all a conspiracy with the amoral games industry behind it and further proof that he is right and they are the devil incarnate.

    Expect to see him pop up as an "expert" whenever there is a new videogame controversy.

    Yeah, lol. Remember I do this for a living, I'm kinda sick to death of seeing him pop up once a month shouting his mouth off. I really hope this is the end of him online now.
