Gabez still angry, writes to LucasArts 22 Jul, 2004, 17:52 / 15 comments

By Jake


Over at the Scumm Bar today is a new editorial by their webmaster, Gabez. In the story, titled "An open letter to LucasArts," Gabez tries to trace a line through many of LEC's past anti-fan actions, from the shuttering of ShawArts in the late 90s up through recent events like legal threats to ScummVM and the cancellation of Sam & Max 2.

He also manages to work Monkey Island 5 in there, if that somehow makes the story more enticing to you. After reading that article it's a wonder anyone's left around here at all. ... Er you are still here, right? Hello?

    THEY TRIED TO SUE SCUMMVM???????
    That is disgraceful behaviour.
    Its stuff like this that makes me want to... sell pirated Star Wars titles and make money for myself, making sales drop for those money hungry anti-socialists.

    Yep, they tried to sue ScummVM. You can about this in the ScummVM archive at http://www.scummvm.org/?shownews=archive .

    This really shows how Lucasarts thinks about their fans.

    Gabez, great article. I really hate Lucasarts & I want them to go out of business. First of all, they cancell Full Throttle 2 & Sam & Max 2, yet they keep releasing Star Wars games.
