Who else felt sorry for JP until he stole Dante's game?

I thought he was a cool kid, that never grew up because he never got attention as a child and escaped off into video game land (LOL). When he finally had a crush on someone he ended up to weird (and bipolar if you include the robot voice), that he couldn't get her and was discarded from everyone else. I felt bad for the kid up until he stole Dantes game... For a little bit I almost thought JP was going to turn into a stalker to be honest (happens to a lot of people of his type I think).

I felt sorry for him -- for most of the film he was the one doing the bulk of game development. And although he'd sound like he was boasting half the time, people who lack social skills often come across like that because they feel that otherwise without connections etc they'll get overlooked.

I can relate...

I did feel sorry for him, but him stealing the game was sorta to be expected.
Remember that previously he took credit for kane's idea of rendering the enemy sprites a different colour so that they wouldn't look confusing to players.
If a guy is willing to steal an idea over something so small, expect him to steal bigger things as well.
