Shika, you keep doing this. I just said that.  SEGA, just like many Japanese developers, sit on multiple IP. They can do that because its their's no matter how much it sucks for us, but it doesn't mean that somebody else becomes entitled to it. If you had a PS4 you never used, or a car you dont drive it doesnt mean your neighbor is entitled to take it  from your home does it?

You talk about it like you know the deal behind it. You don't, so you can't possibly know what you are saying.

You are calling him petty, but to me it sounds like SEGA was beeing petty by not letting him use an IP they don't have any plans for. They did give the IP to Yu suzuki to make Shenmue 3. So, there was obviously a difference of treatment there.

But it is petty. How can you not see it? He sued for the rights to Ecco AFTER both the Big Blue and Little Blue KS got nowhere. If one of thoe were successful this lawsuit wouldnt exist. Its a plan C and I'm sure you know, plan C is always a last resort/do whatever it takes kind of plan
