Why the actual fuck is this titled "Planet Coaster dev" and not "RTC 3 dev"? This sounds like they're suing over something related to Planet Coaster.

That being true doesn't change that this has nothing at all to do with Planet Coaster.
[sp]Or more likely, this does have something to do with planet coaster indirectly, through financially attacking the competition, but I digress. The headline is still dumb.[/sp]
Wow, that sucks. I sunk a lot of hours into RCT3 and it's a shame to see that they didn't even get paid for all of the work they had to do to make something like that run on a computer in 2004. Looking back on it what it must of took to pull that off on that kind of hardware is seriously impressive.
Guys, maybe they said that because saying only Frontier tells the masses a whole lot less?
They never state it has anything to do with Planet Coaster, its more of a pointer to who Frontier is.
Man Atari is really gonna fall apart. I don't know how they're still kicking as it is

Atari is already dead. It's just a bunch of lawyers in an office giving out rights to their currently owned IPs.

Its not even the same Atari from the 1980s at that, just a company using a name they acquired. The real Atari has been dead since at least the late 90s.

They don't need to attack the competition, RCTW is a mess.
Atari was a mess in 1980's and is still a mess today... if it's even still considered a game company.
If I remember correctly Chris Sawyer, the original creator of RCT, also sued Atari and settled out of court.
Well, that's what happens when you don't share out the money correctly.

This can ruin the existence of a company entirely.
A WELL KNOWN PUBLISHER teamed up with a studio in our company family network to create a free to play game, based on their old IPs.
The devs did the best their could and they knew and loved the well known old IPs and tried to deliver the best possible outcome, but WELL KNOWN PUBLISHER wasn't happy because they wanted LESS and a more casual experience.
In the end WELL KNOWN PUBLISHER has sabotaged their own project.
After 3 months or so, WELL KNOWN PUBLISHER wanted to see the prototype and decided that it was not good enough and that the milestones were not met.
So what happened in the end? WELL KNOWN PUBLISHER refused to pay for the last 3 months of work that went exclusively into making the game.
This missing money was a death sentence for the company and they were about to shut down everything, but they were lucky in the end because they received some help from outside.
I can see them return in some years and try to get that Money back.
