SCI Denies IP Theft Reports
Categories: Publisher/Developer Cases
In November 2005, SCI Games says it exercised a contractual right to take over development of Battlestations: Midway, following its dissatisfaction with MGE’s development efforts. When SCI did not make payments MGE complained to Budapest authorities. The Sunday Times subsequently (mistakenly) reported the incident as theft of IP by break and entry. SCI denies this. In any event, the ownership of the game software developed by MGE now seems to be in dispute.
