Yes, but the license will expire, and unless EA no longer wants to make any Star Wars games (or even be able to continue to sell existing ones) they cant piss off Disney by backtalking them with technicalities. They have to play nice or risk Disney simply refusing to ever work with them again. Not wanting to work with someone again is completely different than suing them. Disney not working with EA is completely fine and reasonable, suing them is much larger. Also what you're suggesting is a Breach of Contract, which is a whole, whole other category of law. TheCyborgNinja posted... They could easily find enough people to testify that BF2 has negatively affected their opinion of the IP. How much support could EA muster to counter that? How many people will do so under oath? Also willing to have people go through all of their purchasing history to verify that they would have bought it if it weren't for the bad publicity? More importantly, a list of people doesn't work for any legal argument: No extensive recovery can be founded upon guesswork alone. Recovery must be backed with evidence that justifies an inference that the damage award is a fair and reasonable form of compensation for the injury incurred. In addition, when compensatory damages can be proved with approximate accuracy and determined with some degree of certainty, it is essential that they be so proved. https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Speculative+Damages You need to have accountants go through actual sales figures through all of their sales to check if it would mess with the sales of Star Wars. <cite>shadowsword87 posted [p:890851011] in Hawaii wil...
