You have to love the laws of the wonderful state of California. There is a reason so many companies hold up shop in California. The laws are anti constitutional, and violate international sovereignty. They are everything a corporation wants. They can pretend that the law is on their side.

I was looking forward to Assassins Creed, but now I am not sure I want the game if the company fronting it is against civil liberties. I find the fact that they are threatening lawsuits for satire troubles me to no end.

Capslock could you provide us with a link. I would like to see this comic, and the attached article about the email. I assume that is what it is.

 

It's from the ycs (your console sucks) forums on Something Awful, home of Zero Punctuation.

If this ends up being a pain and Ubisoft threatens this site too, just delete this post. Needless to say, they're not taking it seriously. Leonard Crabs will soon be on the case.

Frivilous lawsuits are nothing new to Something Awful

EDIT: You'll have to hunt around a bit for the comic in that thread. You'll stumble across it in a page or 2 or 3.
