Brutal Legend
Storm Rider:
I'm sure EA wouldn't have picked up the game if they thought the legal threat was at all significant, as we can see from the quote Jace posted. I'm sure it's just Activision trying to throw as much of a monkey wrench in EA's financial schedule as they can out of spite because they underestimated the game's potential success.
Dimmukane:
Seriously, I think Bobby Kotick is just butthurt about how much hype this is getting.

--- Quote ---Double Fine's suit claims Activision never showed interest in the game and canceled it in 2008 after it acquired Vivendi Universal Games. That was after an effort to convert the game into a "Guitar Hero" sequel failed.

Wait, Activision dropped Ghostbusters too.
.....Oh man.
Ikrik:
Activision dropped a number of games when it merged:
Brutal Legend
Ghostbusters
Wet
Chronicles of Riddick
Fiffy Cent: Blood on the Sand
All of those games seem really good. I've been excited for Wet since I first saw a teaser for it almost a year go, when it got dropped I was so worried that it was going to get cancelled but then it was picked up by Bethesda. Ghostbusters did really well, I wasn't interested but then again I only really like the first Ghostbusters. Chronicles and Fiffy seemed pretty cool.
Activision have proven themselves to be nothing but complete and utter jerks for the past while. From threatening to stop supporting Sony to all of their games having expensive peripherals. Tony Hawk: Skate? 90 bucks. DJ Hero 90 bucks. And now there's some new shenanigans for making Modern Warfare 2 10 dollars more expensive as a "one time experiment" or some such deal. As well as all the stuff about Double Fine. All their actions have pretty much convinced me to never buy from them again unless they come out with something absolutely and incredibly amazing (which they won't)
