Diablo-style God-of-War reminiscent upcoming MMO Mytheon is among the ongoing list (read: all of them) of MMOs with troubled developments. Citing poor efficiency and unreasonable demands for time and funds, publisher True games launched a lawsuit against the developer, Petrolyph. I commented (not here) at the time that the reasons cited in the lawsuit make it sound like True Games’ lawyers are the same people who troll MMO forums about how they cancelled their preorder because they didn’t anticipate that an MMO from an indie developer is likely to be delayed for months on end, but rather the game itself is an artful scam, by a fraudulent company. Petroglyph stated, in their defense, that True Games was expecting essentially a AAA title.
I’ve never been good at subtle titles, so you’re already aware of how this story ends. Unlike the other lawsuits I cover, this suit does have a happy ending: Although neither side is admitting fault or wrongdoing, they have settled their differences and Mytheon is back on track for a June 13th launch.
Congratulations and, once again, best of luck to Mytheon in becoming…well, a launched game.
