UnknownPlayer has dug up some dirt from a battle between Funcom (Anarchy Online) and Black Snow Interactive, the guys that sued Mythic for being banned due to selling in-game items. It's a story of mud, threats, laywers and - ugh, just an example how low you can go. Check this piece:
    But the killer are the ICQ Logs given to us by BlackSnow's Lee Caldwell...within this set of logs is some stunning information, but seemingly more harmful to BlackSnow than to FunCom. In it, not only does Lee admit that BlackSnow has hacked, macroed and duped their way to their $60,000 a month income, but he offers Adam Young $7000 to "leave us alone and protect us, and we will always tell you the exploits as they come out and that is undoubtedly a win win for funcom and us."

    A win? Bribing somebody internal to the game, responsible for maintaining the intergrity of the experience? Adam turns this down, saying "It is a mater of integrity. Moving what I feel to be non dangerous characters is one thing. What you [sic] suggesting is a conflict of interest as I am being paid by Funcom to track down exploits and protect the integrity of their data."
Get the full load of dirt here...
