Trouble for MechWarrior game revival?
PC gamers all over were happy to hear about a revival of the MechWarrior sci-fi action sim franchise earlier this year but now comes word that all may not be all wine and roses with this new version of the series. According to IGN Harmony Gold, the owner of the Robotech franchise, have asked IGN to remove the trailer that was used to introduce the new game series. That trailer has since been released out in the open and has been hosted on a number of sites including Big Download. As of the posting of this article, Big Download has yet to receive such an request to pull the trailer.
According to the story, Harmony Gold claims that there was content used in the trailer that are trademarked by them as part of the Robotech franchise. It's currenty unknown what specific content Harmony Gold objects to in the trailer and there's been no response from developer Piranha Games about this new development.

H-G is such a useless, annoying, back-stabbing company. For decades they have interfered with Mechwarrior/Battletech over who had rights to some of the mech designs. Eventually they went to court and Mechwarrior promised not to use their designs. HOWEVER a few months ago official word came that they had finally reached a settlement and the "unseen" mechs could return to Mechwarrior. Well now it seems H-G has had cold feet and is trying to betray that agreement for who knows what reason. I really hate H-G and so does every good Mechwarrior fan.Posted at 4:30AM on Sep 4th 2009 by Bob
