Epic Gets Sued

[BoneofMalkav]

Hmm... I believe it says in the 7th paragraph that they got an engine but they weren't allowed to alter it or else Epic would not support them and they were suppose to advertise this engine as par their contract. So if they made a game with an altered engine wouldn't they be the ones sued for breaking contract? And if they got the engine late and missed the convection where people look at games, rate them, and help support certain games, well they don't have that backing if you see what I mean. Its like any product, you want to make sure you get a prototype out along with all the other models and let people see for themselves instead of just tossing it out there and hoping someone will notice it. I'm just saying that if what they say is TRUE (read that over and over again) and even if someone else got it to work, maybe they had a different contract that allowed them to change aspects of it or maybe they were given knowledge on what to do. If its FALSE then they are just out there to regain funds and trying to get a little popularity while at the same time.

Meh I feel like Zombie and I hope people will completely read this instead of just reading parts they want then go straight to criticizing.

You gotta point sci but either way it's gonna be settled outta court like most company's do.To me it just seems that it's knights fault seince they tried to take their old engine into U3's engine (i know it's possible to take features from an old game engine into another one but trying to hybrid them usually will NOT work out at all).And hell no other company using the same engine has complained yet.Irrational Games are doing a surpurb job on BioShock and that's on the same engine.John Woo and his Dev team hasn't formed a complaint to epic yet for John Woo's Stranglehold.So seriously I think that it's just Knights that are all alone on that particular subject.

Take it all for what you will,call me missinformed I don't really care,it's all just OPINION seince Silicon Knight's haven't shown any evidence of such said events

The only people who know are the people involved in the case. To much speculation still to get a clear answer. My opinion though is that it will go to court because Epic is going to stand up for the fact that they are serious when they sell their engine out that people can't try to fix it. Epic isn't going to settle I don't think for anything but a WIN and I don't see that not going to court to show that the Knights messed up. I think the knights are just mad because G. of W kicked their butt in a game on the same engine.
