Activision has filed suit against Brutal Legend developer Double Fine Productions. The publisher isn’t happy about the game going to rival EA, claiming the developer didn’t provide Activision with a game after a $US15 million investment. How does Double Fine president Tim Schafer feel about that?
“Hey, if Activision liked it, then they should have put a ring on it,” Schafer said. “Oh great, now Beyoncé is going to sue me too.”
And that’s about the best official response to a lawsuit we’ve ever heard at Kotaku. if only legal battles could be settled in a matching of wits, instead of extended litigation and public relations disasters, the world would be a better place.

15 million is big money though, but I would not like to go up against EA’s lawyers no matter what.
