Stabby Simpson is alledging that the central character in Far Cry, identified as Jack Carver, is obviously based on him. He's using a video of Jack whipping out a switchblade and stabbing a guy in the back as evidence for this case. In legal briefs filed Tuesday, Mr. Simpson said the following in a legal affidavit:
"When I saw this game in action I got an instant hard on. I believe this happened for two reasons. One: This game allows you to stab lots of people, and I absolutely love to sue people. Two: The main character not only gets away with but is actually encouraged to stab a seemingly endless supply of people. I identified with this character right away."
Other lawsuits of a similar nature have been announced. These include:
Random Black Guy #5 suing Epic over Gears of War and Augustus Cole.
Samuel L. Jackson is suing every video game company over his image being used for every cool black character that has ever appeared in any video game ever.
Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Mary-Kate Olsen are suing Rockstar over their image being used for the prostitutes in GTA4.
The women of The View are suing Konami over the sick, twisted, deranged, homicidal female bosses in MGS4.
And finally, Sean Hannity, Jack Thompson, Michael Savage, and Scott McClellan, are all suing The Redertainment Corporation Of America over the recently annouced game Bitch Slap Douchebags.
Stabby Simpson's lawsuit is scheduled to go to trial next year, but that nay change depending on how his currently pending criminal trial plays out. One this is clear thought, lawyers who have no problem filing baseless, frivolous lawsuits stand to make a truckload of hot, sweaty cash.
