Quick joke: What is the difference between Jumpgate Evolution and Stargate Worlds? The developers behind Stargate Worlds are no longer attempting to convince people that the game is launching. Apparently Codemasters has hacked MMO Fallout, because someone said “you’re right, we’re tired of Jumpgate Evolution not being released,” as Codemasters announced this week that they are taking NetDevil to court.
Codemasters has filed a Complaint with the federal court in San Francisco against Gazillion and NetDevil. This is a public document readily available to the press. The allegations in the Complaint are clear and self-explanatory and address issues related to the development of Jumpgate Evolution. During the course of the litigation other documents will become part of the court’s public records further detailing the respective positions of the parties. On the advice of Codemasters’ US attorneys, Codemasters has no further comment at this time.
According to the complain, Codemasters paid $1.4 million to help NetDevil make the game, including footing server costs and customer support, for a title that was supposed to launch in February 2009. Codemasters is also seeking compensation for website, community support, and other services that were set up, at Codemaster’s expense.
More on Jumpgate Evolution well, if it appears.
