E3 2009: Publisher taking
developer Double Fine to court over EA Partners game it passed on after
Vivendi Games merger; Tim Schafer offers lyrical response.
This week's
Electronic Entertainment Expo
was supposed to be a sort of coming-out party for Double Fine
Productions' Brutal Legend. The game is set to complete its rocky road
to release with an October launch, and publisher Electronic Arts has
been promoting it heavily at the show. It dedicated a portion of its
press conference to the game and plastered a massive Brutal Legend banner over the front of the Los Angeles Convention Center's South Hall.
