[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] Activision's not saying "you have to keep making crappy movies", they're saying that Paramount is not meeting the terms and conditions of their contract, and thus they have terminated it and are seeking restitution. I work in video game development, and I know what the contracts are like; there are usually perfomance gurantees. Activision probably paid a certain amount fore the rights to publish X games based upon Y amount of Star Trek product (say two movies in 5 years and a series or two) Paramount planned to make. Paramount was probably required to spend Z amount of advertising dollars on same. Ergo, if Paramount is not making more Trek films, and isn't putting sufficicent advertising muscle behind the properties it is making, then they're probablty in violation of it. I worked on a [URL=http://members.tripod.com/~Molyneaux/mm-ds9.htm]Deep Space Nine video game[/URL] some years ago, and I know how difficult it canm be to get needed materials at Paramount (I had to do an end run aroudn their legal and licensing department and call Rick Sternbach directly to get what we needed).
