In a letter addressed to the mother of Strauss Zelnick, lawyer Jack Thompson has likened the Take Two boss to a member of the Hitler Youth – and blamed GTA for the death of three policemen in Alabama.

The outspoken critic also accused GTA of being a murder simulator. The letter make a baffling list of claims against Zelnick and the games industry in general, whilst quoting the Bible.

A legal injunction limits Thompson’s direct contact with the Take Two boss.
