Valve vs VUG : suite (le 25/09/2004 à 11h42 par DameChaos)

Après l'annonce de la querelles entre Valve et Vivendi Universal Games, GameSpy a interviewé Doug Lombardi.

On peut y lire entre autre :

GameSpy : Who currently owns the rights to the Half-Life IP? Is it fully owned by Valve, or does Sierra/Vivendi still claim some ownership over the property?

[Doug Lombardi"> : Valve is the owner of the Half-Life intellectual property.

GameSpy : To what level has Vivendi contributed to the development of Half-Life 2? Have they funded any of the game's development, or has it all been self-funded outside of the publisher?

[Doug Lombardi"> : Valve has provided all the funding for Half-Life 2's development.

En gros dans un premier temps GameSpy demande à Lombardi à qui appartiennent réellement les droits de propriété intellectuelle sur Half-Life. A quoi répond Qu'ils appartiennent à Valves.
Ensuite GS demande à DL à quel niveau VUG a partiticpé au développement de Half-Life 2. Et là Doug répond que Valve a entièrement organisé et effectué le développement d'Half-Life 2.

Au passage je vous annonce que VUG a annoncé un nouveau délais de 6 mois pour la sortie d'Half-Life 2.

"Valve has announced that it will deliver a release candidate version of Half-Life 2 (HL2) (a game required under the 2001 SPA) to Sierra/VUG within the next few weeks. If Valve delivers a release candidate version that complies with the contract and is a Final Milestone, then VUG will have six months to release the product under the 2001 SPA. Valve is pressing VUG to release the product early within that six month window, and its representatives have made a number of public statements without our consent or concurrence that the product will be published and released to the general public in September of this year."
