Gamespot heeft deze morgen een weinig gekende rechtszaak tussen Valve en Vivendi opgegraven.
Is dit misschien de reden waarom Half-Life 2 zolang was uitgesteld. Gabe had immers gezegd dat de Source diefstal niet de voornaamste reden was.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/09/20/news_6107712.htmlValve sued Vivendi for copyright infringement back in 2002 over their unauthorized distribution of our products to cyber cafes," Lombardi told GameSpot last Friday. "We later had to add breach of contract claims for, among other things, refusing to pay us royalties owed and delaying Condition Zero out of the holiday season."
That lawsuit became more complex when Sierra fought back with a counterclaim. "Almost a year and a half into the lawsuit," Lombardi continued, "Vivendi responded by making a number of claims in an attempt to invalidate our agreement and be awarded the ownership of the Half-Life intellectual property. We expect to prevail in this lawsuit.
