Bioware Sue's Interplay

Posted by @ Friday - September 21, 2001 - 01:03 -

Announced earlier today, it seems that Bioware (and another developer, Parallax) has filed suit against Interplay, claiming they were not paid for royalties due to them. Heres the first press release, and the follow-up RPGVault recieved from Bioware when asked about it:

    A lawsuit has been filed against Interplay Entertainment Corp. by Canadian software developer BioWare Corp. BioWare alleges in its complaint that Interplay has breached two contracts with BioWare by sublicensing distribution of BioWare games to third parties without the knowledge or consent of BioWare.

    BioWare is the developer of a number of highly popular and successful award-winning computer games, including Shattered Steel, MDK2 (for the PC, Sega Dreamcast and Sony Playstation 2 platforms), Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn and the recently-released Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.

And here is the follow-up, with good news:

    Regarding our recent announcement of action against Interplay, we can't really comment, as it is before the courts. Please be assured that development at BioWare is continuing. Neverwinter Nights is shaping up nicely and Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is also progressing according to plan.
