I can play frets on fire perfectly and all I used was a program that emulates the classic controller. This means that compatability is in fact NOT up to Activision at all but rather a result of porting the PS2 version and them using the PS3 incident to cover it up. |
Its up to Activision if they own the rights to the product. Just cause you used a non sanction program to get a peripheral to work with a freeware game doesn’t mean that Activision doesn’t care. It means that Activision is not worried about those few individuals that goes through the trouble to hack a free game and the peripheral to play it on a PC. What they do care about is another company sells a direct competition game that uses their Gibson licensed IP owned controller and makes a profit off of it with no share of the revenue. That is the difference here.
And if Activision is pushed into defending their license in court by a company ignoring thier wishes, then you will see a snowball effect where they will cut support for 360 version and your freeware game mod as they must show an across the board protection for their IP patent. Just how Gibson has to sue Activision, EA/Harmonix, and retailers for selling the "interactive simulator with a peripheral device". They have to show that they are protecting they patent.
I'm just saying...
