My guess is that they are ALL to blame.

MS doesn't want the N64 Goldeneye on the Wii VC
Nintendo doesn't want the Goldeneye remake on Live Arcade
Activision wants an absurd amount of cash to allow it to be published
No Rare arent to blame. It's their bloody game. They should say. Everyones fault except Rare's. No one else should take any credit for a classic such as Goldeneye.

 


If only it was that simple, it's the publishers who have the say, not the developers. Doesn't help that this is one of the most awkward licensing nightmares you could imagine.

Nintendo published it as a second party title, having nearly owned half of Rare.

MS now own the original developer.

Activision hold the overall 007 license (but I don't know how much say they do actually have in this all since Goldeney is after all a Nintendo property)
