Namco Sues CD Projekt Red

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/namco-bandai-sues-cd-projekt-red/

Just more reasons to hate Namco.

Let's hate Namco for taking action when CDPR breaks a contract!

Wait, aren't they the retail publisher for the Witcher 2?

After that Splatterhouse incident, I lost some respect from Scamco.

It looks like Namco in this case after publishing the PC version felt they have rights to any other version, and CD objects to that. I do like that DRM was removed, lol.

I liked seeing Geralt's face, and reading

"I hope that the whole thing will end with a pre-litigation settlement. If it doesn't, I amsure thatwe will win the case and then the loser will pay for our lawyers."

I guess they want x360 profits not many PC people by retail and most go for digital :P

No DRM was announced long before this lawsuit.

I don't get it. Namco/Bandai only published in EU. Atari was USA, 1C was Russia, and CD Projekt had Poland and DD. What grounds do they have over CPR going with THQ for a version they didn't sign for?

This.

Namco is simply doing what anybody would do if a contract was breached. There's nothing to see here folks.

With everything that the boxed copy comes with, it boggles my mind that anyone went for the digital version.

Collector's Edition here 8) Retail FTMFW! Really only choose digital if the price is way too good to pass up, or it's digital only. I bought Amnesia cause I couldn't get a physical copy, and now there is one :(

Well, as was pointed out in the article, if Namco is in the wrong, then the only thing they'll get out of it is lawyer's fees for both parties(at best).

What did I say if a video game developer is not shuttingdown they're fully suing each other...

I'm sure Namco and Sony were happy to learn that Securom was removed without notice. The GOG version was the only one without DRM.

As if Namco would sue if they knew they're wrong.

and the DRM was only in place to prevent pre-release leaks. SAGE_OF_FIRE

That's CDPR's rhetoric, not what's in the contract.

The law isn't moral. If the contract was breached, action must be taken regardless of what's "right" or "wrong".

You assume the contract was breached just because Namco says so, as if one company has never filed a frivolous lawsuit against another.

Well I use common sense and don't think Namco just woke up one day and decided to sue their effin golden goose for no reason whatsoever.

So CD Projekt is also being sued for removing DRM without Namco's consent? What a load of BS.

Edit: I really wish Atlus was publishing Dark Souls, not Namco.

Well, that's only half of the lawsuit! Namco had the rights for only a part of Europe anyway, the game has what, four retail publishers?

And I don't see Atari or IC complaining about the removal of the DRM. SAGE_OF_FIRE

Surely that's because not everybody has the same contracts in place...

we need more lawyers in the gaming industry...

everyone is sueing everything.Ratchet_Fan8
