The courtroom tussle between Unreal Engine 3 [http://www.epicgames.com/].
A Square Enix [http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/50928]and others.
"I'm leaving the litigation to the lawyers but, if this is the case, I'd like to apologize to any of our licensees who Silicon Knights have inconvenienced," Epic Vice President Mark Rein said. "We know that, like us, they just want to make great games." Inconvenience notwithstanding, of greater concern to Epic and its licensees is the possibility that confidential terms contained in the contracts, including licensing fees and trade secrets, could become public record and would then be available to competing companies.
St. Catharines, Ontario-based Silicon Knights first counter-claim [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/75104] in early August, saying Silicon Knights was simply looking for a way out of paying for the Unreal Engine license.
