Newly formed 'developer' Thompsonsoft have announced today plans to create a videogame based on lawyer Jack Thompson's 'satirical' challenge to the games last year, revealing 'I'm O.K.', which incorporates the mock-plot outlined by Thompson in an attack against the alleged immorality of the games industry. At the time, Thompson pledged a 10,000 USD charitable donation should anyone actually make his controversy-bating game concept. The joke company is apparently staffed by three alcoholics and a foreign exchange student, the company mission statement reveals that it is "formed around the singular idea that Jack Thompson is the most brilliant game designer in the universe."

As well as utilizing the 'plot' of Thompson's 'modest proposal', the game promises to star a socially-alienated half-Japanese, half-Korean man, on a rampage of revenge equipped with a baseball bat, uzis and rockets. The so-called 'Urine engine' will power the game, but the lawyer himself isn't amused by Thompsonsoft's attempt to land the charitable donation (for a charity of a Games chief's choosing). "The creation of this 'game' does not meet the terms and conditions of the Modest Proposal. Not even close; thus, no cigar," he responded via Game Politics, adding that "the attorneys for these idiots will be contacted." More on this as we get it
