Valve And Activision Clash In Royalties Battle
April 30th, 2009
What could turn out to be an ugly court battle has commenced between developer Valve and Activision Blizzard, with the former filing suit against the publisher on Tuesday.
Valve alleges that Activision Blizzard underpaid it almost half a million dollars in royalty dues owed from an earlier dispute between the developer and Sierra, whose assets and contractual duties were taken on by Activision when it merged with Sierra parent Vivendi.
