Atari Responds to Turbine’s “Frivolous” Lawsuit

In response to Turbine’s lawsuit concerning issues related to the promotion and handling of Dungeons & Dragons Online, Atari has issued their own statement labeling the suit “frivolous” and calling for its dismisasal. From my inbox:

(Last week, with no warning, Turbine filed what can only be viewed as a frivolous lawsuit against Atari. This action can ultimately do a great disservice to D&D fans and to the MMO community at large. Turbine’s actions also appear intended to divert attention from the contractual obligations that Turbine owes to Atari. In response, today Atari served a motion to dismiss the entirety of Turbine’s lawsuit. Atari also filed a separate complaint to recover monies owed to Atari resulting from an independent third party audit of Turbine. While Atari hopes for a quick and fair resolution, it remains fully committed to the D&D communities worldwide and will vigorously protect the franchise and its own integrity in this matter.)

This one isn’t going away any time soon. Hopefully they come to some sort of amicable agreement and we end up with both Eberron Unlimited and a Neverwinter Nights MMO to log into a few years from now.
