LUCASARTS ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY DECLARE DARK FORCES?: A MOD FOR JEDI KNIGHT II? IN BREACH OF FUNDAMENTAL LEC LICENSE AGREEMENTS

 

As of Today (March 31st 2003), the Dark Forces MOD will no longer be allowed to continue, as Lucasarts lawyers have shut down the project, and seized property, including the project leader's personal computer which will be later used in court. I wish I could say this was an April Fool's Joke.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - March 31, 2003 - Today, LucasArts lawyers ordered the immediate abortion of the Dark Forces Jedi Knight II modification project. The Jedi Knight II modification project leader had been cautioned a number of times on the use of illegal materials in the project. These materials are the intellectual property of LucasArts, and to use them knowingly will result in criminal punishment. The website and modification project materials are now the material property of LucasArts.  

Dave Turner, the project's leader has been warned on a number of occasions, most recently being issued with a formal caution, and ultimatum outlining the immediate dissolution of the modification and all related materials. Mr Turner failed to agree to this ultimatum, and as a result on March 31, 2003 LucasArts' lawyers seized the website and Mr Turner's personal computer for use later in a court prosecution. Mr Turner will have no choice but to pay a fine of $250,000 to LucasArts Entertainment Company, or face a 6-year prison sentence.

Fjottet selskap.

Man får ikke en gang lov til å lage mod-er til spill.

SINNSYKT! Jeg har gledet meg til den moden lenge!

Er det så farlig om noen folk gjenskaper nivåer fra dark forces med q3 motoren?!? :grumpy:

Fatter ikke Lucasarts verdien av et stort spillsamfunn, som f.eks. mods til et spill som jk2???????? :grumpy::evil::evil::evil:

OK guys, anything you have read concerning this project in the last 24 hours or so – do not believe it! This was an April Fool’s joke! Not real! The project is still go! Dave is still fine. LEC are fine. There were never any e-mails or anything. THIS PROJECT IS NOT CANNED – AND NEVER WILL BE!

 

If you are in the school of thought that believes this was a particularly bad joke – then all I can do is apologise. But, I couldn’t make it any more blatant – it was on April 1st after all. Please forgive me if I had you outraged. Don’t boycott LEC, they are good people – we are getting JKIII after all! Anyway, this is the idea of April Fool’s – to be fooled! And if you were, my job is done. May I point out this was Fracman’s idea as well, not just me. Cruel? Yes. Your own fault and gullibility? Yes. Do you really think they’d sue Darth_Linux for $250,000? Do you think he could get 6 years for this? If you do, then you are truly gullible. I tried to make it authentic, as well as slightly unbelievable.

 

I guess the only thing I can really blame it on is my dark, British sense of humour.

 

Once again, anyone I have unknowingly annoyed or inconvenienced due to this, then you have my heart felt apology.

Lucasarts har en historie for å være ganske hysteriske med copyrighten sin, så det var en velplassert aprilspøk :)

Husker når Star wars: battlegrounds var på forsida av coveret til PC GAmer UK engang, og de hadde glemt å printe ©Lucasarts under bildet.

Ble kontakta tvert av Lucasarts, og måtte komme med en uforbeholden unnskyldning i neste nummer. Kjedelig flause.
