Mother****ers.

As if I needed more proof that there is no just and loving god in the universe.

Sam & Max 2 put to sleep for good
Negotiations between Bad Brain and LucasArts discontinued

In the last couple of months, rumors on the possible resurrection of LucasArts' Sam & Max: Freelance Police grew in gaming circles. The rumors mentioned a new, mysterious games publisher called Bad Brain that was willing to raise money in order to buy the rights to an unnamed adventure game from LucasArts. Wolfgang Kierdorf, Bad Brain's CEO, stated that "yes, we are talking to LucasArts about a game that might involve animals, but that's all folks!", successfully gaining the attention of the games press at large.

Many thought this was too good to be true. Unfortunately, they were proven right, as Bad Brain today brings the news that negotiations between them and LucasArts over the rights to Sam & Max 2 have been discontinued.

"We tried everything to bring you the game you all wanted. But it seems all hope has gone. They broke off negotiations. But you truly have to believe that it wasn't our fault and it sure wasn't the money. We just don't know and they don't tell", is the message found on Bad Brain's website.

LucasArts has not commented, but it seems that Kierdorf's surprisingly open attitude during the negotiations — which he admitted were protected by a non-disclosure agreement — may have led to the break-off.

Lucas Arts has gone way down hill. To much diddling over Ewoks.

Some people over at Mixnmojo think it was all some sort of publicity stunt by Bad Brain. Not sure myself.

Lucasart were certainly great game makers once upon a time

Well, actually, #3 was the best in that saga.

And yes, this SUCKS. S&M provided many a laugh-filled evening when I was in college and should have been studying.

Erm, by "S&M" I mean Sam & Max, of course...
