New York State, whose "Operation Game Over" earlier this year banned more than 3,500 registered sex offenders from services like Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network, has booted another 2,100 from online gaming after bringing THQ, Funcom and NCSoft to the cause.

Richard Kretovic, whose sexual abuse of a 12-year-old boy inspired New York State's push to have all of its registered sex offenders permanently banned from Xbox Live and other major gaming services, was sentenced on Friday.
