Could all the bull finally come to an end?
Eight game publishers have asked a federal judge in Denver to dismiss a lawsuit brought against them by relatives of several victims in the Columbine High School shooting, the AP reported.
Lawyers for the companies said the suit should be dropped because it doesn’t allege that any particular game led Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold to go on the shooting spree that killed 12 students and a teacher. The companies also argue that video games are protected as free speech and that they cannot be held liable for someone’s reaction to the games.
Companies named in the suit are Acclaim Entertainment, Activision, Capcom Entertainment, Eidos Interactive, Infogrames, Interplay Entertainment, Nintendo of America and Sony Computer Entertainment America.
