Smart looses court battle
A while ago we reported about Derek Smart from 3000AD being all but happy about his publisher, DreamcatcherGames, selling his game Universal Combat at a budget price point and that he would be going to court for that "breach of contract".
Now, he has apparantly lost this battle as he states in this thread on 3000AD's official forums

We were not successful in obtaining an injunction primarily due to the fact that the performance of the product in the market at $19.99 instead of $39.99 can be tested and we can seek to sue for damages if the product does not perform as stated by the publisher. The judge is basically saying, wait and see the outcome and if you're still not satisfied with it, sue them for damages. Preventing the game from being sold, will not provide that market test etc etc.
What this all means is that, the judge is saying, they can go ahead and ship the game at $19.99. And if it does not perform as our projections and contrary to what Dreamcatcher stated (they said that lowering the price by half will double the sales - see their affivadit for more on this), then I can sue for damages. We can also sue for the inaccuracies and false statements in the DC affidavits etc etc.

I have spoken with my attorneys and a fresh batch of lawsuits are going to be filed against every officer in the company, Robert Stevenson (for making false statements in an affidavit). And we are going to seek to terminate the contract for breach in several areas (cited in the affidavit for injunction).
