Mark Rein, the vice president of sales at the Unreal Engine vendor, has claimed that a Jury in a North Carolina court "finds for Epic on all counts".

 

CVG is attempting to clarify the claim with Silicon Knights.

Epic Games also counter-sued Silicon Knights in the complex legal case. Rein's claim, which was posted on his personal Twitter account, suggest that the Jury also favoured Epic specifically in the suit against Silicon Knights

Case over. Jury finds for Epic on all counts.

In 2007 Silicon Knights founder Denis Dyack alleged that Epic had failed to provide the Ontario studio with a game engine that it had originally been pitched. Dyack also claimed that the protracted and expensive development of Too Human was due to his studio's decision to abandon Unreal Engine 3.

 

Silicon Knights went on to build its own tech, which it claimed was proprietary, to finish Too Human. Epic countersued Dyack's company for plagiarising Unreal tech when building its new engine.
