  • EA and Ubisoft Settle Dispute Over the Word "Ghost"

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]3926[/ATTACH]
    Remember when a really stupid thing happened in the gaming industry? That's too vague. Remember when that stupid thing was EA and Ubisoft were on the verge of hot legal action over the use of the word "Ghost?" Guess what? The dispute has been resolved!

    EA has pulled one of their trademark filings for "Ghost." EA still has Ghost Games, developer of recent Need for Speed games and Ubisoft still has Ghost Recon. Everyone is happy. Details on the resolution are unknown but an EA rep said that "we now have an agreement with Ubisoft to carry on with our respective trademarks."

        King of Nothing: Billy Mitchell Stripped of Records, Banned
        by Shawn Zipay
        Most of Billy Mitchell's world records and high scores were stripped from him today following allegations that he cheated when he "earned" his high score in Donkey Kong of 1,062,800 points.

Mitchell first earned the record in Donkey Kong back in 1982. He then re-set the record ...

This new studio, this new Ubisoft, would focus on popular Ubisoft IPs such as Assassin's Creed, Far Cry, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. The new subsidiary was valued at about €4 billion, which includes the roughly 25% investment (€1.16 billion) from Tencent.

        Though work is still ongoing to get the studio opened by the end of the year, we...
