Ubisoft wants to buy South Park, but it looks like there may be legal trouble. South Park Studios filed a complaint saying that THQ did not have the legal right to sell South Park as long as South Park Studios reclaims the license by paying the full amount that THQ put into the game.

I think that Ubisoft is a death sentence for any creative studio, and obsidian is that. I thought with the 2004-5-6 Prince of Persia trilogy and Beyond good and Evil that Ubisoft has finally found out how to make great games that are also creative.

But from all of their recent years - they ran Heroes into the ground, from the fabled AC franchise only the ACII is really good, and whatever they ship they manage to make unplayable with the uplay crap.

I hope whomever South Park Studios does bequeath the rights to the game to will treat it nicely. Poor Obsidian, even when they find a publisher who doesn't seem like it will abuse them, the publisher goes under. Perhaps their only friend are the fans, thanks be to Kickstarter.
