| Bodhesatva said: What is the "Judgement about Tearing Saga?" I'm not up to date on my Japanese VG gossip! |
Nintendo alleged EnterBrain(at that time, published Famitsu. Now, department of Ascii) about violation of copyright of EmblemSaga developed by mainly two persons involved in FireEmblem.
As a results, court don't approve the suspension of software sales, but EnterBrain and developers must pay large reparations(total 70 million yen. about 3% of earnings).
After that, main developers backed out of EnterBrain's game and second part bombed. So, we could say ultimate winner is Nintendo.
