Jaffe Thinks Sony Should Sue A Lot More People
Over at David Jaffe official Blog, Jaffe seems to think Sony must get smarter with it's legal actions. He thinks that Microsoft 'Scrap Metal' game is too close to 'Twisted Metal' and that the movie 'War Of The Gods' is too close to 'God Of War'. Thus, he is encouraging Sony to get happy with it's lawyers!
Quote:
'Ok, maybe not Lucas but Sony should. Or if I owned the rights to TWISTED METAL and GODS OF WAR, I sure as hell would at the least send a sternly worded legal letter.
Heck, I'd send two legal letters if it were me'.
What do you think? Does Jaffe have a point? On paper it seems like it.
