Panel on violence includes Thompson, Lorne Lanning and Moral Kombat movie creator.
Earlier this week, the VideoGame Expo (VGEXPO) announced its lineup for a controversial video game violence debate to be held at the Philadelphia-based event. Ensuring a healthy level of controversy, anti-gaming advocate Jack Thompson and Moral Kombat director Spencer Halpin will attend the event.
Halpin’s full-length documentary, which will premiere during the event, examines the issue of violence in video games by talking to game industry figures (including Thompson), legislators and activists. While the film’s intent was to present a fair perspective of the issue, gamers have debated the movie’s balanced view based on a trailer that was posted on YouTube last year.
