BIG COMPANY, MGM is miffed; and sending the legal heavies after a bunch of independent Half-Life 2 modders for using a word it claims as its own: Stargate.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

You also might have Sony on your tail as they just bought MGM.

Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

I hope Sony doesn't mess up and turn into another Microsoft.  I was never fond of them (gaming-wise at least) in the first place, though.  I don't have HL2, so the SG mod that was being made I wouldn't care about terribly much, but I just hope the upcoming SG1 game will still be released for the PC once it is done, and isn't ultimately dictated by Sony to be turned into some lousy PS2-only game.

Dang, hope Andromeda doesn't get the same pickle up its...

We're just getting enough models to make SFC mods based on these shows now... (shhhh!)

They didn't say anything about models however... just the word...
