Connectix Flattens Sony… This Time, It's Legal.
Despite the fact that Connectix Vitrual GameStation is buggy, plays nothing like a PlayStation, and requires getting used to using the keyboard to control games, Sony has been fighting Connectix tooth and nail to get Virtual GameStation off of store shelves. And Sony is losing. They’ve lost in two hearings already, and today they “voluntarily withdrew” the case that alleges that Connectix is violating eleven copyrights.
Honestly, I’m very surprised by all this. I knew (and was right) that days after Connectix introduced this product in early 1999, Sony would be all over them like stink on a monkey. I just didn’t think that Connectix would win. Well good for them. Apparently justice does tend to prevail. Now if we could just fix that Microsoft thing any time soon.
