The creator of the excellent Geometry Wars clone, Grid Wars, has been asked by Geometry Wars creator Bizarre Creations to remove all links for downloading Grid Wars from the creator’s site (whew, say that 3 times quickly). Although I admit, the clone DID hit a little too close to Bizarre’s home, it is a bit sad that a freeware tribute to an excellent game which isn’t even being sold commercially or sold on the same system has been shot down without an official version to replace it. Best wishes to the developer and here’s to hoping he comes out with some new shooters to replace Grid Wars, or at least get a job offer from Bizarre to help with the next version of Geometry Wars.
Sorry folks… I’ve had to remove the link to the download.
Email from BizarreCreations:
“We’re beginning to feel the effects of the Geometry Wars clones on our sales via Microsoft now and are beginning a process to begin to more robustly protect our copyright and intellectual property. Therefore, I’d like to ask you in an amicable fashion to stop infringing our IP and pull the game ‘Grid Wars’ from the internet for download. I hope you understand and are able to do this without us having to take further steps.”

Well, let’s hope for Bizarre that their survival isn’t solely based on selling the remake of a really old title…
And hopefully Mark Incittis will soon come up with another project. After checking out his website one get’s the impression that he is a bit more active than the Bizarre guys anyway.

That really pisses me off. The guy was giving away the game for free. I don’t think Bizarre is standing on very solid legal ground here. Bullying a small dev into submission – nice going. Oh and posting a long winded “justification”. Feeling guilty I suppose. Blah
