Activision: Brutal Legend is ours.
Variety - February 13, 2009
Submitted by mrahaju (9) at 4:27PM PST on February 13, 2009
Activision Blizzard is under the impression it still has publishing rights to the game. And it’s threatening to sue developer Double Fine and new publisher Electronic Arts as a result. EA has responded with its claws bared, giving me this rather pointed response:
We doubt that Activision would try to sue. That would be like a husband abandoning his family and then suing after his wife meets a better looking guy.

Rumor: Brutal Legend needs new publisher
Ars Technica - September 25, 2008
Submitted by noobie (468) at 1:43PM PST on September 25, 2008
Kotaku is reporting something that all of us have suspected for a while: Brutal Legend is apparently not going to be published by Sierra. According to anonymous sources, it seems that the game is once again in the hands of Double Fine Studio...

1@ixaarii,
It's definitely not rushed to market. The game is in very good shape from what I've seen. It can make October easily. It's also pretty good.
Sales wise, EA have an opportunity here with so many titles moving to 2010. If they can continue to execute on marketing throughout the season fingers crossed it will do well. It certainly deserves to.
If you have any interest whatsoever in Metal and Video games you must buy this game![ Oracle ] [ Level 21 ] [ Rank: 291 ]bids
1The game is a guaranteed success among the gaming cognoscenti, and will likely be a critical darling. Tim Schafer - the man can do no wrong to this demographic.
However, that's a niche - how much EA is willing to market it will make or break the game.
The right adverts in the right places will move units. The look and style of the game can appeal to several key demographics - your Guitar Hero and Rock Band fans will like it, your Jack Black fans will like it, your Tim Schafer fans will like it, and your older gamers who grew up listening to rock and metal will like it.
I got in long at the IPO price, and I'm expecting to make a tidy profit. I can't see it hitting much higher than 200DKP, but that would be a doubling of my investment.[ Speaker ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 379 ]bids
1i was just about to short this title as it popped into my mind as it seems a lot of journalists are hyped about it but i can't see why and it seems it might be rushed to market too due to lawsuit and i found, to my delight, that the simexchange people have already guesstimated quite nicely. I was expecting from the hype for it to be aroudn 400 dkp but the current figures seem much more right to me. I'd give it less personally but i'm probably not seeing right since a lot of people in the gaming media seem hyped about it, or at the very least they'll push it...[ Oracle ] [ Level 20 ] [ Rank: 444 ]
