VUg has done it 3 times publically, and who knows how many times privately to its titles, this is why people are worried.
I somehow doubt they willd elay it for 6 months though. But i do think they will delay as far into the holiday rush as they can.
I think the reaosn we arent getting any binks was because valve figured vug would have given a release date by now. That within 4 weeks you would be playing hl2. Sadly VUg is one of the worst publishers known to man.
Look guys, you may think this won't effect VUg but in fact it will. All the Vivendi entities have seperate earnings. So no Vivendi, and Vivendi universal won't die. But it is very well possible that VUg will.
I actually support what Icey is trying to do. I hope more gamers start to take a role in understanding the aspects of what publishers do to developers daily, heh. The more widespread the knowledge the sooner the 'kinks' (if you can call them that) will get worked out of the system. A publishers...
Yep Disney, and VUg is pretty much doing the exact same thing. And they are about to shoot themselves in the foot over it. I truly hope Valve has the money to hold them off for 6 months if VUg tries it. That will be the death of VUg, but either way, win or lose, VUg is severely handicapping...
No the only thing that will change this current situation is a mass boycott. When i say mass i mean that the 1 million current hl players combine forces and contact their local media outlets or a larger mass media outlet such as cnn or fox news, sky etc. LEt them know about the boycott and the...
Yep basically VUg is making a last ditch attempt to get some IP that will make them relevent in the game industry again. As you know they have been digging themselves into the hole in their games department, with the last valid developer they have being blizzard. So they think or thought they...
No valve agreed to 2 engines. The reason they need the jjudge to make them work on 4 is because they are trying to say the prexisting 2 were developed in breach of their contract.
But sure we can agree to disagree, but I think you are just not understanding the lawyer(liar)speak, lol.
Btw don't listen to hunteraz lol. If you read his post history its quite clear his uncle doesn't work for VUg, since hes predicted wrongly 3 or 4 times as to when it can and will go gold =P
"Including Sierra/VUG's promissory fraud claim based on Valve's false promises that it would continuously develop games to completion; Sierra/VUG's fraud claim and claim for breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing based on Valve's concealment of Steam and its strategically delayed...
Dude what vivendi are saying is that valve invalidated their previous contract and want 2 more engines for it. At the same time they want the rights to it. Therefor all previous games valve have done for them, are nullified, and the contract is restarted after hl2. Get it?
why would a judge have to give VUg the right to somthing a contract states they have? One wouldn't, you are letting legal speak, make you believe what is not the case.
