In other legal wranglings,
Shacknews also reports that "multiple Unreal Engine 3 licensees have been
served with subpoenas" related to Silicon Knight's lawsuit over Epic's support
for the game engine (
story). This is apparently an effort at
digging into details of the contacts involved, which is normally confidential
information, and it's possible that this could lead to this info becoming public.
They have a quote from Epic's Mark Rein about this: "I'm leaving the litigation
to the lawyers but, if this is the case, I'd like to apologize to any of our
licensees who Silicon Knights have inconvenienced. We know that, like us, they
just want to make great games."
