activision & ea still not playing nice

and who really is surprised by this one?



Think the drama over "Brutal Legend" is over? Think again.

It turns out that Activision Blizzard is under the impression it still has publishing rights to the game. And it’s threatening to sue developer Double Fine and new publisher Electronic Arts as a result.

If I remember correctly, Activision dismissed the game like a year ago on the grounds that it wouldn't do well in a series of yearly installments. Or am I wrong? It may have been another game.

Either way, they DID dismiss a game (or couple of games actually) because they couldn't be recycled yearly! Nice. <_<
