Sad to see Rebellion sinking so low. I was a big fan of 2000ad in my youth. In the 90s, the Kingsley brothers - also life long fans - bought the comic and started making games from its IP. It was a dream come true for me. Unfortunately none of the games were anything to shout about, and eventually rebellion moved on to generic ww2 shooters. Then they became legal trolls. I wish they'd just concentrate on making a decent 2000ad IP game. An open-world MegaCity-One would be incredible but they don't have the money for that kind of thing anymore. They should go retro, return to their roots. Make a Hotline Miami style Sinister Dexter shooter. Or a Slaine roguelike. Or a Judge Anderson point and click adventure.
At least the dredd movie was good.
Edit:
Just remembered this story. Back when I was a wannabe mod maker I had grand plans to make a Sinister Dexter total conversion for Max Payne. I didn't want to plow ahead and get sued, so I emailed and asked permission. Jason Kingsley personally emailed back and very politely told me that although it was something they'd love to see, they couldn't give me the all clear because they had something shopping the same lines in the works. It never came to pass unfortunately. Still, it was nice of him to reply. I don't know how they got from there to legal battles against people making a game that had nothing to do with their IP
