Spikey Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Apparently so.. http://venturebeat.com/2012/05/30/leisure-suit-larry-creator-wants-infringing-kickstarter-campaign-taken-down-exclusive/ Thoughts? Seems like maybe it's being taken too far by Replay, but it's hard to say. I'm not sure how I feel just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawmis Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Actually, last I heard from Paul Trowe on his FB - is that there won't be any kind of lawsuit. The Sam Suede KS changed their page, removed references (and images) of Leisure Suit Larry, and rephrased the Sam Suede KS to make it more clear that it's BASED on work by Al Lowe, and that Al Lowe is not working on it. But yes, I agree - it seemed that they were being too aggressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainiac Posted June 30, 2012 Report Share Posted June 30, 2012 Well, they gave up. Kind of inevitable, but still a little disheartening. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1787675232/sam-suedetm-in-undercover-exposure/posts/256383 http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118196-Sam-Suede-Kickstarter-Collapses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s_d Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Not that I particularly care, but you can locate an Al Lowe interview in which he states his level of involvement (i.e., it was his concept, and permits his name to be attached to the project as a "creator" type figure, but not an active team member). Personally, I'd rather support Steve Ince on other projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Pleimert Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 It's a shame that misinformation can snowball into a shitstorm that can take down an entire campaign. Whether or not that misinformation was perpetrated by Wisecrack to begin with, or if really shady, mysterious forces worked the wrench from the "inside," I guess we'll never know. All I can say is, I'm glad the 2GFA Kickstarter didn't mention Al Lowe anywhere. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaffeinated Jedi Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 All I can say is, I'm glad the 2GFA Kickstarter didn't mention Al Lowe anywhere. ;) The key is keeping those mentions of Al Lowe as modest as possible.
