Yes. That's right. I'm reporting Lucasarts to complaint. I figured after about five years or so of Lucasarts ripping people off and its victims not doing anything about it, I figured it was time to blow the whistle.
According to my EXTENSIVE research (I am not making this stuff up, people), Lucasarts did the following:
1. They cancelled "Sam and Max: Freelance Police" just before it was about to be completed.
2. They fired the people who worked on that game.
3. When the people who worked on that game formed their own company (called Telltale Games), Lucasarts refused to give them the programming code to that game.
4. They changed the release date of "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2" from February to December rushing Obsidian, and causing the game to be released in an incomplete state.
5. They refused to allow Obsidian to finish KOTOR2.
6. The "Combat Upgrade" for Star Wars Galaxies took out a whole bunch of job classes, items, and abilities.
7. They made the Jedi class, the most powerful class ever, available at the start with the Combat Upgrade.
8. They refused to make their recent games like "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed", "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "Fracture" for the PC.
9. They refused to re-release any of their graphic adventures in the United States.
10. They refused to re-release any of their graphic adventures on the Nintendo DS, claiming that "there's not enough space to hold them".
11. They claim they are still making adventure games, but they are making them of the "survival horror" variety. I have yet to see one survival horror game from the company.
12. They hand out cease-and-desist letters that actually contain the F-word! The F-word, people! I'm not kidding!
I may update this if I find more information. And, knowing Lucasarts, I'll probably find more information.
