Activision can't seem to get out of their own way lately. In an interview with GamesRadar, professional paintballer Greg Hastings, who's latest game greg Hastings Paintball 2 is being released by Majesco, had some harsh things to say about the publisher of his prior games, Activision:
Greg Hastings Paintball 2 launches on September 14th.
"I had to fire Activision for doing such a poor job. Activision tried to steal my franchise. Within 24 hours of me shipping my PlayStation 2 game, Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball Max'd, they sent me a letter and they said, 'We feel you've abandoned your franchise, and we're going to commence making games called Greg Hastings Paintball without Greg Hastings.’"Mr. Hastings says a lot of spurious things, so I have to question the validity of his statement, despite the fact that this seems like the kind of power play Activision would pull.
"They made us spend a whole pile of money and we won unanimously in court. A billion-dollar company tried to steal my identity, and I was able to fight and regain my identity. That's why I'm on cloud nine; I fought the giant and I'm a success story against Activision."
