Sega suing THQ? Wut?

Well, more sensible than Putt-Putt suing Mojang and Don Mattrick

Huh.

That's what I call an overkill.

Something about getting blood from a stone...

That's like stealing from a grave. lol

This is why I hate sega.

Yes I know I did sonic giveaways :P

Perfect timing

Sega DID honour all those pre-orders, of which they got zero revenue out of.
I don't see the big deal out of them filing to get that money... "

You have to understand one thing.
many people bought preorders and the money from them went to THQ.
Then the game and the IP was bought from SEGA.
SEGA honoured all preorders from the time before they had the game, but they didnt get any money for those.
This money is legitimate the money from SEGA since they have delivered the games to buyers and got nothing.
Now they are just trying to get at least a small amount of that money in court so the loss isnt as big as now.
Its not the best thing to do for the image of the company but they are right since they are entitled to that money.

if their right to that money is real (apparently it is), hopefully their claim will succeed and they'll get something from thq asset sale

Flogging a dead horse.

Now i hate them even more

Sega sues everyone lol

I'm lost. How is SEGA going to sue a bankrupt and dead conpany?

Douchebag sega. They don't deserve my capital S.

man, this is like triying to put 5 charges of c4 on the body of someone who got shoot in the head 20 times with high caliber snipers, shot 900 times in the chest with a vulcan full of hiv+ and cancer bullets, got his memebers cut with chainsaws then shoot with bazookas and was buried in a highly radioactive site near a lava pool, 10 years ago

Sega shall once again rise from the ashes. :D

SEGA~~~~

A million bucks? Really? For a big corporation nowadays this is really nothing, why bother?

Just let it be Goddammit!

So, SEGA wants the money it should get, thanks to getting the property? Makes sense.

I still like SEGA: ;_;

So sega bought something they knew had been pre-sold already. Bought it knowing X number of copies had been sold that they would then assume liability for. Now they want to go back and essentially re-negotiate their purchase of the IP and the existing commitments because they realize they didn't make as much as expected. Poor form Sega.

They willingly and knowingly assumed and took over the responsibility and debt of ensuring to meet those pre-orders.
