Chris Sawyer Sues Atari

CHRIS SAWYER, the brains behind the unbelievably popular RollerCoaster Tycoon series, is to sue Atari for $4.8 million still due as royalties from the games. Current estimations indicate that Sawyer’s games account for $180 million, with $30 million of that going to the man himself already. This suit has been initiated thanks to findings by forensic accountants brought in by Sawyer which he alleges reveal that he was still due the princely sum of $4.8 million. He is also hoping to be reimbursed for his legal fees and interest.

Some may call him greedy, but it looks like it is his money. I certainly hope he wins then, because that’s one game I certainly didn’t consider to be a waste of money. Check out the posting at The Inquirer.
