Activision turns activist
In other words, No Doubt, you should have complained before Activision went to the trouble of making the game in the first place. No, no, don't speak.
Activision also said the band had "agreed to provide services, including marketing services, to promote the 'Band Hero' videogame," and despite receiving full payment from Activision, "No Doubt failed and refused to perform the services."
Therefore, says the games publisher, the band had "breached its agreement with Activision, including by refusing to perform promotional services."
Furthermore, according to the complaint, No Doubt "has been unjustly enriched by its wrongful conduct against Activision, including by retaining money paid to the band for services it then refused to provide."
Activision also wrote that the contract "speaks for itself," and denied any allegations of wrong doing.
And just in case there was any doubt Activision was seriously angry, the publisher is not only seeking judgment in its favour, but also "unspecified damages and interest," as well as a return from No Doubt of all benefits and payments, an order that the band pays the "full cost of this action" and "reasonable" legal fees, along with any further awards the Court "deems just and proper."
Nothing more, nothing less.
