Wrestler Maxx Payne Sues Game Publisher

Posted by simoniker on Saturday July 26, 2003 @08:37PM from the max-power-also-upset-over-simpsons dept.

Ryan Barrett writes "The Associated Press reports that retired WCW wrestler, actor, and voice actor Maxx Payne is suing a group of game developers and publishers over the game Max Payne. In Payne's words, "I left wrestling to come home to Utah and be with my family and I find myself in the biggest battle of my life - to save my identity." This raises an interesting question: in most cases like this, we Slashdotters are quick to speak out in Payne's defense. But when the big bad corporations are game developers, do we still take the little guy's side?" Is this suit exposing a genuine rip-off, or is it just a naming coincidence?

Well Jello Baifra is a really really gay name. I'm sure glad that faggot is dead. Oh, and let's be clear, he could NEVER win a governership in ANY US state. He's a fucking fag punk singer.
