Brutal Legend was dropped during Activison’s Vivendi merger, “I had no involvement” in the decision, says Kotick
Every gamer on the planet is aware of the drama which unfolded between EA Partners, Double Fine, and Activision over Tim Schafer’s gaming homage to metal, Brutal Legend. When the game was dropped from Activision and picked up by EA, everyone assumed it was a case of the little guy being stepped on by the bigger guy when the game’s former publisher moved to block the release of the game, subsequently branding Activision as the Evil Empire with Darth Kotick at the helm.
However, despite the legalities and all the verbal back-and-forth between all parties involved, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick as finally broken his silence on the matter, and if what he says is true, the decision was made by Vivendi during its merger with Activision and Kotick had never even so much as laid eyes on the game.
