Kohnke Communications has decide to sue Perpetual Entertainment over a canceled game, Gods & Heroes. Head over to Shacknews for the full report. I don’t know if the money they are going after is worth the court case, but I guess a win is a win. Plus it tells other “don’t fuck with me” when it comes to money.

Kohnke alleges that Perpetual owes it $10,675 in outstanding invoices, in addition to fees for its work promoting Gods & Heroes. Depending on the game’s success after launch, Kohnke would be entitled to a minimum of $70,000 and a maximum of $280,000. The complaint alleges that Kohnke’s work on promoting the game should entitle it to the maximum amount.

“Kohnke’s public relations campaign was successful in creating pre-release ‘buzz’ around Gods & Heroes, and in convincing reviewers to write positive reviews about the game,” the text reads. “Kohnke is also entitled to punitivie and/or exemplary damages due to P2, Keen and McKibbin’s conduct, which was fraudulent, oppressive, and with malice.”

None of the above quotes sound all to fantastic after the GameSpot & Gerstmann issue we just had. This doesn’t feel or sound like the most interesting case, but maybe that’s just because I’m not involved. However, what I did find interesting is that I can’t seem to find a link to their blog on their website anymore. They use to have one back in the summer and now it seems to have disappeared. This would be a good time to use it as a way to communicate their side as this gets blogged about around the globe. I hope they are following this online and commenting, because so far I’ve seen anyone from Kohnke comment anywhere. HURRY UP GUYS!.
