Thompson says he'll debate at GDC, GDC says otherwise
Update (3:40 PM EST): We just received the following statement from GDC Executive Director Jamil Moledina: "The Game Developers Conference has not extended an invitation to Jack Thompson to speak at GDC 2008. We look forward to announcing the full speaker lineup closer to the show." So much for that.
Original story: Fresh off his respectable performance at Philadelphia's VGXPO, activist lawyer Jack Thompson says that his public debating days are just beginning. In a legal brief unearthed by GamePolitics, Thompson says that a Game Developers Conference organizer asked him to "reprise the Philadelphia debate, this time in February in San Francisco in a 5000 seat arena, as the keynote event."
Such a keynote would surely be a blockbuster part of the conference, but Thompson has been known to stretch the truth in the past. We've put in a call to the people behind GDC and we'll update as soon as we can confirm (See update, above).
