News Epic counter-sues Silicon Knights

In response to a lawsuit from Silicon Knights, Epic is counter-suing and alleging that Silicon Knights is using Epic code without license.

 

Sounds ludicrously petty.
A 1-on-1 deathmatch would be a laudable method of solving this stupid suing/counter-suing.

 

Isnt this a silly fallout. Will this see the end of Too Human if Silicon Knights p*** off Epic too much. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.

 

Well epic are just being sad doing that, they screwed Silicon Knights over and now there acting like children as far as im concerned, they should just stop acting like children. 1 V 1 Deathmatch

 

they would but they cant get their games to interoperate

 

I think i'll sue them both, get in on the action.

" I HAVE NO REASON TO BE HERE WHY IS EVERYONE SHOUTING?"

 

You know.

I'm fed up with seeing companies get sued because they're suddenly worth lots more money.

If GoW hadn't been the raging success that it was, I bet Silicon Knights would never have filed this suit.

I hope Epic win this joke of a legal battle, and force Too Human back to square one, even though I am looking forward to the game.

Bunch of money grabbing idiots. Stop focusing on lawsuits, and focus more on games that don't suck :|

 

Having read SC's entire legal document I gotta say I really do believe they have a strong case. I haven't read Epic's yet. It's definitely not just SC being babies and trying to money grab like oh so many people have claimed. If SC can provide sufficient evidence, they are going to be sitting pretty.

 

The thing is that no other game based on UE3 looks anywhere near as good as GoW or UT3. So either companies are just taking the engine and not learning to use it right or something fishy is going on.
