Frictional - despite having a Europe/Asia publisher, can you still enter this contest? Might be great for more exposure! Originally saw this at shacknews.com http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/64078.

Frictional Games is not from USA, is it?

No, they are not.

It's probably for the best, I don't think you'd really want to be a subsidiary of Activision these days. Tongue

I shudder at the thought of Activision and Frictional together

Amen.

Ooops didn't see it was U.S. only. And yeah, I agree with everyone else and wouldn't want to see activision paired up with frictional. My heart spoke before my brain! My apologies.

Activision is a greedy, ruthless company. I would stay FAR away from them.

If you read the agreement stuff you come across a part where Activison claims all rights of the IP that gets first place.
So every indie dude should think twice and not get blinded by the money.
