Word
is out that the Bid For Power team received a cease
and decist letter from FUNimation. This was just days
after FUNimation sold the DBZ game selling rights to
Infogrames. But it seems that all is not over yet, according
to one of the developers FUNimation may be reconsidering.
Here
is what Yrgol (one of the developers) had to say:
Funimation
did indeed send us a cease and decist letter within
days of selling dbz game rights to Infogrames. However,
they have decided to take a closer look at the situation.
We did not want to jump the gun on being foxed, because
things are still fairly up in the air. We did not
want the slashdot post to happen.
For
those of you not familiar with BFP, it is a Quake 3
mod that has been in the works for quite some time.
It is not made officially by any companies but instead
by DBZ fans in the mod-making community.
