Thompson is particularly well-known among the video game industry for his controversial "A Modest Video Game Proposal", where Jack wrote a letter to leaders of the video game industry; Jack stated that he would donate $10,000 to a charity of Paul Eibeler's (CEO of Take-Two Interactive) choosing, if any video game-creating entity would create and publish a video game based on his criteria; He wanted the main character of the game (a father whose son was killed by a boy who played violent video games) to kill several high-ranking video game industry executives at the [[Electronic Entertainment Expo]] (E₃).<ref>Saunderson, Matt.

As of October 27, Thompson is permanently disbarred for misconduct. The liberal judge who oversaw his case did not allow him to defend himself against disbarment properly, and it is widely speculated she was pressured by left-leaning groups such as the ACLU to eliminate Jack Thompson from the video game debate.<ref>http://kotaku.com/5054772/jack-thompson-disbarred</ref>
