No exaggeration.

IGN article

Acclaim has tarnished the Olsen Empire!

Not surprising. Viacom is suing Activision for making Star Trek games that sucked... or is it the other way around?

For those of you who write a Penny-Arcade "inspired comic" (which is totally different from "shitty rip-off") I took the liberty of writing a great script satiring this news!

Cast:
-Character A (replace with your 'straight man' character. Be they bland Tycho rip-off, average college guy, goth girl stuck in a world of idiots, or as in my 'favorite' shitty web-comic: humorless 'hacker' bitch who has no likeable qualities!)
-Character B (replace with your 'goofy' character. You know the 'Gabe', the dittsy hot chick who would never play games in the real world, the stoned slacker, or wise cracking humanoid animal existing for some strange reason in a 'normal' world)

Pannel 1:
Character B is shown from a 3/4 angle working on fixing their PC, they're kneeling with the camera at their level, character A walks in, he/she is at a 'worm's eye' view and... ah who am I kidding! You write a Penny Arcade "style comic" here's your staging:
Character A and B face each other at a straight on view with an orange background.
Character A: So did you hear the Olsen Twins sued Acclaim?
Character B: You don't say?

Pannel 2:
C.A: Yeah... they sued because the games were shitty
C.B: Really well then I only have one thing to say about that...

Pannel 3:
C.A: Let me guess, "Fuck! if I knew we could have done that I'd have sued 15 years ago!"
C.B: No! When will the Oslen Twins be legal!!! ooooh yeah!!!!


Your welcome!

I saw that during the scrolling news headlines on E!. Funny as hell.

They should also sue their agent for sticking them in crappy movies.

That and Paramont sued Eidos saying that the poor quality of the PS2 Tomb Raider game hurt box office sales of the second Tomb Raider movie -_-

Cool beans. All of the examples and cases brought up in this thread really bring new meaning to holding game companies accountable for making sucky games.

True, but it's more about companies (or in the case of the Olsen Twins, individuals) squabbling with game developers when they make products that in some way hurt their own profits. It doesn't do anything directly to help the consumer, who is arguably hurt the most in these cases, which is a shame. Still, if this forces developers to put more effort into making quality games that make use of outside licenses then we'll benefit indirectly at least.
