How Low can You Go: Limbo Of The Lost Developers Point... Er.. He Went That Way!
You might recall the situation for the poor developers of the game Limbo Of The Lost are currently going through. Essentially, they are dirty rotten thieves. You know it, I know it, and the composer even went on record as saying the three people that worked on it designed everything in house.
Now, they officially sent a statement to GameSpot on the whole debacle. What do they have to say for themselves? Long and short of it, we didn't do it:
In response to the shocking notification that some alleged unauthorized copyrighted materials submitted by sources external to the development team have been found within the PC game Limbo of the Lost, we (the development team) have given our consent and full cooperation to both publishers who are recalling all units from all territories immediately.Please be assured that we do not condone in anyway the use of unauthorized copyrighted materials and if we had been made aware earlier, we would of course have ceased development of the product and rectified the issue prior to the publication process.
To the best of our knowledge no one at Majestic, [European publisher] G2Games or [North American publisher Tri Synergy, Inc.] knew about this infringement and knowingly played any part in it.
We can only apologise to all regarding this issue, as a team we are shocked and mortified regarding these events and we continue to work with said publishers in order to rectify the issue.
I love it when people use the phantom scapegoat to point fingers at. External sources submitted them copyrighted material? Someone needs to tell these people that the guy at best buy handing them a bag full of games and a receipt is not offering them game assets.
