Brain Activity



Pwned

So, I watch with amusement as president of Brash Entertainment quits after spectacularly poor sales of its video game titles. They only had two. One of them, Alvin and the Chipmunks, didn’t do horrible. It sold a quarter million units but its only other title sold only 16,000 units.

That game was Jumper: Griffin’s Story which wasn’t, I’m afraid, very good. In fact, looking at all the Xbox 360 games ever made, it ranks 380 out of 381. That’s right, the second worst Xbox 360 game ever made.

So, why am I amused?

Any money I got from this was up front.

and

Despite the fact that they used dialog right out of my book of the same name and, of course, this game is based on the movie which is based on my books Jumper and Reflex, there is not a single attribution to me or the books in the game and associated materials.

Second worst game in Xbox 360 history. I’m happy my name isn’t on it.

    Me too, dad. Me too.

    It WAS pretty sucky.

    The copyright gods were obviously displeased! Could have been great had they only credited you.

    Hey, it’s only four behind Moose & Squirrel! Looks as if the best use of the cash would have been to short an XBox Games tracking stock…

    Or letting N.G. design it.
