ATMachine Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Breaking news here. So apparently they're claiming they still have a valid contract to publish the game after they dumped it from their schedule? I was never planning to play Brutal Legend, but damn it sucks to have more bad stuff happen to Tim Schafer's games. ETA: Should probably mention that this news comes courtesy of SurplusGamer on IRC.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 It's good press either way! (Better to have two publishers fighting over you than none!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 ^lol yeah that's true...they must really think it's a good game to care about it this much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapetti Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Why didn't Schafer just go to LucasArts to publish the game, he must still have friends there that could make it happen. Should have known it wouldn't go smoothly with EA, they just invite those lawsuits in :/ If it was any other company I don't think Activision would have minded. Let's just hope EA will pay up with their money powerhouse ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon_git Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Cünts. Also, good christ, another forum member from Aber? There's an unreasonable number of us from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapetti Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Ahh what really? Anyone go to Aberystwyth University? That's where I am (was), just finished my first year and am now back in Essex in England for the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neon_git Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Both myself and Gabez went there, although we've both graduated and moved on. You wouldn't expect that much overlap for a community as small as Mojo and a town as small as Aber. Good luck with your studies chap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urluckyday Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 From Gamespot... Double Fine president Tim Schafer passed the following comment on to GameSpot: "Hey, if Activision liked it, then they should have put a ring on it. Oh great, now Beyonce is going to sue me too." Classic Schafer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapetti Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Ahh yes, I remember reading about Aberystwyth get togethers on the site ages ago. Actually I have been looking at these sites for a very very long time but don't tend to show my face. Just a guy who likes to see what other fans are up to I did send like one thing in I noticed to scummbar.com in like 2004 but that's about it. And I think I was even on the chatrooms a couple of times before I was even a teenager XD Edit: Oh and sorry for not staying on topic, no one here minds right?

Murray-Mint Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 You Aber people.... The only Aber worth writing about is Abertawe! /me flees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabez Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I love how there's two separate conversations going on, overlapping each other, like the notes of an immense symphony. It's cool that there's another Aberystwyth person here! We should set up a Facebook groups "I went to Aberystwyth University and visit Mixnmojo.com and all I got was this stupid Facebook group which makes me feel worthless and depressed." On topic: this is clearly insane, but I don't think that Activision have much of a case. Then again, I'm no lawyer. :~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapetti Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 This has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with with EA. I don't know man... I still don't trust them XD they are still an evil corporation in my mind and they DO attract those lawsuits, you gotta give me that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Move over EA, there's a new assh*le on the map: Blizzard-Activision! Also, LucasArts have been BAAAAD for a long time now, it's only this past week (or so) that they've shown better colours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
