Si ayer os informábamos que un escritor había demandado a Ubisoft por plagio, hoy nos hemos enterado que no solo pretende cobrar dinero como indemnización:
– Un millón de dolares por violación del Copyrigth
– Cinco millones por daños y perjuicios
Si no que también pretende que la serie se cierre de aquí en adelante, incluido Assassin’s Creed 3, lo que cancelaría su lanzamiento y el de posteriores productos.
Extraído de la demanda:

¿Ubisoft permitirá la destrucción de una de las sagas más exitosas y rentables de la historia?
