Beyonce sued by game dev for $107 million

Sue her like a quilt, and while you're at it sue Activision for causing layoffs at United Front.

The game was supposed to be a kinect release aimed at tween girls in the vein of dance central. These people were committed to a create game for an often left out demographic. They were not approaching it as shovelware..they were trying to make a quality game. As some people pointed out, yes business live or die by their decisions. But business also have to focus. Contracts were signed and Beyonce was involved for 8 months before pulling out would /i have played this? no.. but I have a daughter and /i would like to think developers will eventual offer games that interest her. I know it is very easy to act like these people got what they deserved but when you see people you know with children worrying about being evicted or even where their next meal is coming from it seems very unfair.

It doesn't matter how good you sing or how hot you are, lady. If you sign a contract, own up to it.

Remember there are actually millions of Beyonce fans out there who would give their life to get a sniff of her smelly g string. 100 Million is quite realistic.

rica esta mujerrrrr

Good luck, sure she's got an army of laywers.

not surprised. Beyonce acts like her sh*t don't stink. Well guess what Beyonce, you're sh*t does stink...it stinks like sh*t! MacGruuuber

Bust a deal, face the wheel

Video game contracts are getting to be as rigid and hefty as the NFL's...

Pathetic. She got bored and decided to ruin the careers of over 70 people, not to mention the company itself. I hope they win.

What a b***h

I hope Gate Five wins, but the judge awards them closer to a total of $14 million, rather than $106 million.

Gate 5 is asking for $6.7 million in development costs......ok fair enough but me thinks they are a bit ambitious when they think a beyonce game would make $100 million....quite funny really

its just another poor music game, she did the smart thing in leaving

i hope they win.

Honestly, would the game actually sell that well? Either way the Devs deserve it for what she did...even if the game was gonna be bad anyway:P

WHAT. This story surely must be the beginning of the end of the world! No Beyonce game. Like that is really what we need right now a Beyonce game FFS...

LEAVE BEYONCE ALONE :cry: lol, not really.

@riariases none the less Beyonce is a greedy hoe bag

Tor Thorsen who wrote this article is obviously biased towards Beyonce. Look up 'gross beyonce' on google images and you'll find that picture. What a sneak reporter.

$100 million??? lol @ Gate 5. nice try you grubby gold-diggers.

nice play beyonce.......

Sounds like shes been hanging out with Kanye too much

haha this is a funny story. They should def sue if they had exclusive rights and she just up and left. The $100 million in profits though? come on.. a Beyonce video game would hardly even make a profit.

As much as I wish several large men/women would grab her out of her house and tar and feather her after urinating in her face in a televised, public event.... Nah actually that's it. I don't care about the lawsuit, which will get settled quietly anyways, I just want that to happen.

@Yajarobi The law sucks mate but life's life.

who in the world who would sue her?!!!they are really RUDE.

What they're really saying is. Our crappy game isn't good enough to sell without a celebrity endorsement.

No way theyre getting an extra 100 million there, thats a bit of an overestimate. Kinda stupid she pulled out. You get paid to promote your career in a different genre. Now you look like an idiot.

That fellow in the picture looks like Beyonce.

I hope the poor laid off staff get a cut of the compensation.

@Yajarobi Alot of that 100 million is prob for breach of contract. Because she left the project early she has to pay penalties.

I just hate her. Sure go on, sue.

srry, buy that picture looks like a transvestite.

I shouldn't really make snap judgements after only hearing one side of the issue but it sounds like she backed out of a contract without any justifiable reasons. It's sad to think she'll probably get off without any repercussions since she's rich enough to buy a horde of elite lawyers.

they are asking for wAy to much. the game would have made 100 million!? it would have made a fraction of that and been a random DS game you see on the shelf at gamestop and think - "omg srsly"?

Damn, celebrities can be really irresponsible. Sweetie, if you signed a contract, you can't, like, walk away.

i wonder if shes ever hooked up with another girl? sweet.

lol beyonce lol

hott pic....sorry couldnt resist

Beyonce has 20 million fans give or take.. i can see them selling 1 million copies totaling 60 million plus in sells....

This is probably one of the few things lawyers are good for, to iron out this sort of crap.

doesnt sound like a game i would have played, but still people should hold there end of an agreement, we dont got both sides of the story im sure beyonce has alot to add to this situation, so before i go off and bash beyonce ill just have to wait and see what she has to say for her actions |:)

I'm not even sure what to say to this... First of all, making a video game on Beyonce, mistake number 1. Assuming you were going to make $100 million dollars off of said game, mistake number 2. deciding that pushing a diva singer into a video game development contract, something that's hugely time demanding, mistake number 3.

What would the game be about Beyonce killing aliens while singing hehehehehehehe

I'm okay with this.

she's a dumbass!! simple as that..her big head got bigger with fame...fluckin retartdddd!!

I've worked on a project she was a part of. Her entourage and manager were very overbearing and condescending with the crew. I would bet that these people made the "extortionate demand[s]" without her knowledge. Beyonce herself was actually very approachable and friendly with the crew. She even hugged and thanked everyone when the project was over.

@OldKye Honestly the company needed to go down in flames for even proposing to make a "Beyonce" game.

I would sue her so that I get a contract for her to have sex with me anytime I want
