BioWare Sues Interplay

That’s right folks, BioWare, the creators of the Baldur’s Gate series, just sued Interplay, their publisher. While I haven’t yet been able to find the press release, according to Planet Baldur’s Gate, BioWare and Parallax, the creators of the Descent series, sued Interplay for breach of contract. They allege that Interplay has sublicensed distibution for some BioWare games to third parties. This happened, BioWare alleges, without the knowledge or consent of BioWare. In addition, both BioWare and Parallax allege that Interplay owes them some extra royalties.
