Just to give a bit more detail... the fans had been working on this game since 2002. They weren't doing it for money, just out of their love for King's Quest. When finished, it would have been available to anyone who wanted it, for FREE, via their website.It was due to be released in December, but just a few weeks ago, Vivendi issued a cease & desist order to the fans making it. It's been shut down.YOU can help. Visit the website dedicated to saving the game.<a class="user" href="http://www.savekqix.org">http://www.savekqix.org</a>
Who knows.. vivendi may have asked them to stop as they are working on a King Quest title themselves and don't want their thunder stolen if they were to be out at the same time
Yeah, definitely consult a lawyer. If its free I don't think they can actually stop you. Or call it something else and make it a satyr. That is definitely legal.
Has anyone seen the trailer? I cant find it anywhere and the torrents I have found have 0 seeds....Its too bad really...Email Sent: CheckLetter Sent: CheckSad: Check

Sound like what happened to the guys working on Chrono Resurection...<a class="user" href="http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/">http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/</a>It's sad that stuff like this happens, especially when it happens towards the end of the project...
