By now you should all be aware of the legal battle between Epic Games and Silicon Knights over troubles withToo Humanand the Unreal Engine. If you’ve been wondering just where Microsoft fits into the accusations and the mudslinging, don’t bother. The ‘Soft iskeeping well out of that one.
“No, we’re not involved in any of the actions between Silicon Knights and Epic, that’s a relationship that they will figure out,” stated Microsoft’s Phil Spencer. “But we are deeply involved with making sure that the future ofGearsand the first iteration ofToo Humanare great games on our platform.”
Spencer wouldn’t comment on who he thought would win or who he’dhopewould win, hoping instead that “in the end, what people are talking about is the greatToo Humangame.” I think we all still hope thatToo Humanturns out to be great, although considering how much time Silicon Knights is wasting elsewhere, it’s understandable for faith to waiver.
