What Brutal Legend thing? I thought it was an EA game.

They didn't do it in 2007, they're sure as hell not going to do it now.

Activision can go to hell for what they tried to do against Brütal Legend. Go ahead, stop supporting, I'm not buying any of your games this gen anyway (except Diablo III).

Chill people, it's just a way of asking Sony to drop the price to $299.

It's not a real threat by no means.

That doesn't make sense... Back then they were waiting to see how each console sold. Now everything's out in the open.

It would be foolish to stop porting the COD and Guitar Hero games to the PS3 though.

Well than, they can say goodbye to at least 4 milliion sold copies of every next COD game they launch

I think it was like they didn't get the rights to publish the game so EA picked it up and now Activision is mad or something.

Brutal Legend was one of the game that 'didn't make the cut' when Acti-Blizz merged. The project was picked up by EA after a while and eventually got to where it is today, unfortunately Activision suddenly realize that the game might actual sell some and have decided to file injunctions against the dev in an effort to get the development cost already spent back.

EA famously retorted that this was like a guy 'abandoning his wife only to protest when she finds a better looking guy'.

Don't know the entire story and I'm sure Activision have some leg to stand on, their official statement claims that Double Fine Production fail to meet several critical timeline with regards to the project etc etc.

I wonder if any of this turmoil will influence what Sony does next gen with the PS4. It seems like they may be stuck with this type of problem unless they want to drop the backward compatability for the PS3.

HUH?? why stop supporting ps3 now when its selling a lot better then it did in 2007(which was the "ps3 is dead" year) and has much much higher user base then b4?.
