For several years now I've been following the fan-made King's Quest game The Silver Lining. Vivendi (Sierra) had already given them a fan license, but then Activision bought them out. The creators (Phoenix Online Studios) have finished the first episode, but now they've been told to Cease and Desist. NOW, when there's a complete game in existence. And this isn't a cheapy flash game or ROM hack, this is a real game. A game with full 3D models and voice acting that's been in development for the better part of a decade.

The gang at Phoenix have worked on this with their own money, never once expecting to make a SINGLE penny off of it, and now it's all down the drain. What is the freaking point?

Furthermore, why can't Activision honor the license that Vivendi already gave these guys?
