Take 2 taken to court
UbiSoft steps up legal battle over Red Storm games
According to a report from trade magazine CTW, French publisher UbiSoft will be taking Take 2 to court in January as part of an on-going dispute over royalties allegedly owed to one of their development studios. Red Storm's games, including the popular Rainbow Six series, were distributed in Europe by Take 2 Interactive until the end of last year, but in the meantime the developer had been bought out by UbiSoft. They claim that Take 2 still owes them around £6.3m, and including interest and legal costs UbiSoft expect the total could reach £7.5m. No doubt we will be hearing more about this once the case gets underway next year...
