Ubisoft smacks Bratz for $13 million

Ubisoft sued MGA $13 million! And anyway, Bratz games are for little girls! Not big boys! No offence, but if it was up to you that forget who the Bratz games are aimed at, 5 year old girls would be running around the street pretending they are characters from GTA games!!!

ubisoft spent 13 million on bratz what on earth were they thinking now they could have spent that money on their real assets like tom clancy games seriously this is like worst than all those horsez, dogz and catz games now that toy company is gonna make a whole different bratz doll

One Question... Why? - Vampire Turtle :shock:

C'mon,Ubisoft! Make every games like this, SCs,GRAWs,and others better!

OMFG.. DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN READ ARTICLES BEFORE YOU POST?????? UBISOFT ISNT SPENDING 13 Million, MGA got SLAPPED with a $13 million PENALTY for breaking the contract in 2003 trying to renegoiate. For the last damn time, UBISOFT is GETTING $13 million in DAMAGES paid to them, for MGA breaking the contract. UBISOFt is NOT getting the CONTRACT back. And I doubt they even want it. Ubisoft is NOT focusing effort on a BRATZ game over Assassin creed sequels , they simply WON A LAWSUIT and get $13 million. It has nothing to do with the caring ABOUT Bratz, but about teh CONTRACT they signed. READ BEFORE YOU POST.... jeez

Okay...so I have never played a BRATZ game (God help me if I ever do--shudder--), but a game based on a demoralized trampy Barbie-like doll is just what the female youth of the world needs to help them learn the facts of life and help them establish wholesome morals-----NOT!!!!! Please just concentrate on putting out some GOOD games and you will make GOOD money. The Bratz games may have sold in the past, but in they appear to be a failing market right now (thank God). Use the resources on other games or franchises where it will be more appreciated.

Somebody had to know that if they kept shoveling this Bratz tripe off on their tween consumers that they would eventually get hip and move on. Bratz is yesterdays news. Now its about Hannah Montana or Jamie Lynn Spears or some other little blonde chick. Bratz had a good run, but them days is over.

sorry for being part of the problem, I bought Bratz Diamondz for my sister's birthday. If only she had taste T_T

If hope yall do not think that the ones dealing with this are the Game Designers, lol. I am pretty sure that the people working on the game are not Lawyers as well, lol.

yea like i care

This proves it. Ubisoft is gay

Well "all (good) things must come to an end" Though i don't know about the "good" part - but then again i ain't some brat girl (i mean the annoying ones not the angels more the trouble maker).

**barf**

well, $13.2 million, just goes to show you can always make the best of a terrible situation

Why is everyone acting like this means anything to games. they got a settlement over a contract, nothing more. why is everyone acting like this is a tragedy for hardcore gamers. Its just business, not much more then that.

it's amazing how parents scream over the violence and sexual tone of video games when there are Bratz slutting up our youth.

I think it's funny how people here think Ubisoft has only 1 team that works on games. News flash, the team that works on Splinter Cell doesn't work on Bratz games.

Bratz sucks anyway...

what the ...... ubisoft should keep their focus on splinter cell and assassin's creed series!!

Whatever happened to MATTEL?

Barbie is where its at. lol j/k

Did anyone read the article??? They wanted $$$. It's not like they really want to continue making the Bratz games. They want all the money that they supposedly missed out on. Wouldn't you want an easy 13 mil.

They've been wise in the past. This could indicate good business, but more likely a bad decision.

excuse me, does anyone really care, i mean seriously, come on

Slutz

$13 Million for Slutz er... I mean Bratz? Ubisoft, dear god it's just not worth it. What about a sequel to Beyond Good and Evil already?

pfft why bother sueing over this??

The disappearing of bratz would be a better day for all of us.

who the hell buys this ****??? god 13 million! Ubisoft needs to focus more on its number 1 titles! not some stupid girly ****!!!

Disgusting.

THIS IS GAMESPOT'S BEST TITLE FOR AN ARTICLE IN YEARS!!! THUMBS UP!!! A++++!!!

None of you even read this article did you? Wow... just wow. You come out running your mouth about... nothing really. 90% of you are crying about an issue you made up by reading the headline and deciding to hit post.

Ubistoft... shouldn't do such things

ubisoft have been dissapointing lately. naruto rise of a ninja was terrible and assasins creed was poor

Great news for casual/kiddie gamers bad news for harcore/mature gamers.

At least Ubisoft will have an excuse for any "Bratz" titles to stink (it's a damn doll). What's their excuse for other titles, though? When was the last time they put out a decent Rayman game? And how could they screw up Red Steel so bad? Maybe they can use this money to hire some better developers.

Wtf???? 13 Million??? What are dolls going to do with that kinda money lol:P

13 million for this??? -_-

If I were a board member of Ubisoft, I would have tried to convince everyone to just leave it be. Honestly, I wouldn't want my company seen fighting...and winning...13 millian dollars for the Bratz franchise...

you guys wont be complaining when they put that 13mil to good use on those games will u

People seem to be missing the point here... Ubi isn't getting the contract back, they are getting a monetary judgement. Period.

I'm starting to think this whole "mass market" thing is more of a curse than a blessing.

i bet all female gamer will own this one

This is the cause of teenage pregnancy. Ok, so it's not, but its just another thing wrong with the world that causes children to act more like adults or teenagers, and inherit all the associated problems of not doing that properly.

ok, this is stupid...

Uhhh, did any of you read the actual story? They sued because of the termination of the contract, not because they wanted it back. Ubisoft is not making Bratz games now, THQ does. So instead say, THQ, stop making Bratz games and get on Red Faction and Saints Row, NOW!

I agree with HaloFreak they should be focusing on their "better" game projects.
