According to arecent ruling by the North Carolina District Court,Silicon Knightsshall cease producing or distributing and recall and destroy all unsold copies ofToo Human, The Box/Ritualyst, The Sandman,X-Men: Destinyand Siren in the Maelstrom at its own expense.

A judge also ruled that Silicon Knights must now pay Epic an additional $278,000 in court costs, $2.09 million in attorney fees and $2.3 million in pre-judgment interest. Joined with theprevious ruling that Silicon Knights owes Epic $4.45 million, Epic is now owed approximately $9 million.

These guys are so screwed.

Man... and to think these guys made Eternal Darkness

:(

So, if you want a copy of Too Human, get it now, because it's gonna be scarce soon.

This would suck if they actually made good gamesCapitan_Kid

Have you played Eternal Darkness? Something tells me you didnt...

I fully agree.

Bad horror game, middling action-adventure. At least the first 1/3 of it was, but I think Wolpaw's Law applies there.

Looks like SK are about to shut the doors..

So, where are they going to put all the copies of Too Human ? they will need a pit bigger than the one used for ET.

Article didn't really explain exactly why does SK have to do this IE what was this whole suit about?

[QUOTE="dotWithShoes"][QUOTE="DarkLink77"] Well, I'm sure a place like Amazon has some unsold copies that are just sitting around somewhere, as does some Wal-Mart, a GameStop, etc. Point is, it's gonna get rare very quickly, and very soon.DarkLink77

I think that's why they said they have to RECALL them. As in buy the shippied copies back from retailers and destroy them, not just what (if anything) they have in their own stockpiles.

I'm not too familiar with this company, but sounds like they are toast.

I personally like too human.

ill make sure to hold onto my copy.

If they didn't focus so much on a title for 10 years and trying to sue Epic, they wouldn't be in this mess. I don't even think Nintendo will buy them out now.

[QUOTE="Salt_The_Fries"]

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"] I believe Silicon Knights took Epic to court over Unreal Engine 3 support. SK lost, and Epic trolled them by counter-suiting. Moral of the story: bite your tongue if you can. Don't be quick to blame everyone else if you're criticized for what you do.FireEmblem_Man

SK were still allowed to make games for other systems just that Nintendo kept stock in Silicon Knights when their two game contract ended.

IF anyone is interested in what happened to SK, then you should read this article (its Kotaku, but its actually good and its long).

[QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="lamprey263"] I did and it wasn't that great.BrunoBRS

Pretty much.

One good game no matter how good can't save a whole company whose games for the most part have been mediocre.

Epic is killing SK ! I dont support Epic anymore... No matter if it was SK s fault they dont need to do this ...christiankhs-2

If you start a fight and consequently get the crap kicked out of you, you can't really moan that the other guy is a thug. Don't blame Epic for fighting back against a law suite from Dyack because his company made a game that sucked.

But SK and their vocal leader almost begged for the lawsuit...
