This, on top of the Brutal Legend thing and the milking of their franchises.

I'm starting to dislike Activision.

What Brutal Legend thing? I thought it was an EA game.


Brutal Legend was one of the game that 'didn't make the cut' when Acti-Blizz merged. The project was picked up by EA after a while and eventually got to where it is today, unfortunately Activision suddenly realize that the game might actual sell some and have decided to file injunctions against the dev in an effort to get the development cost already spent back.

EA famously retorted that this was like a guy 'abandoning his wife only to protest when she finds a better looking guy'.

Don't know the entire story and I'm sure Activision have some leg to stand on, their official statement claims that Double Fine Production fail to meet several critical timeline with regards to the project etc etc.
