The lawsuit was just pettyness. He only did it because the spiritual successor failed to get anywhere and he felt it was because he could not attach the source material to it the way MN9 and Bloodstained had.

I disagree, there is nothing petty about it. He has pitched new Ecco games to Sega plenty of times over the years and every time they've shot him down. I love Sega, but let's be honest, they have a bad habit of just sitting on great IP's while they waste away. The Kickstarter failed because without the name, barely any gaming journalists covered the Kickstarter; it got next to no publicity, which is crucial for Kickstarter success. Ed winning the IP back from Sega is the best hope we have of actually seeing a new Ecco game, so I hope he managed to win. 

What are you disagreeing with? You just said everything I said, minus SEGA sitting on IP's.
