Olsen Twins Sue Acclaim For Unpaid Royalties

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the getting-their-due dept.

filtur writes "The Olsen twins (that got your attention) are suing video game maker Acclaim for royalties regarding their Olsen twins branded video games. Acclaim has apparently run the brand into the ground." Once dubbed "the most powerful young women in Hollywood," the money involved seems almost trivial by comparison to even their individual net worths, but it'll be interesting to see how this turns out.

    It's called the USA. If you have money, you can do whatever the fuck you want, really, it seems.

    I really couldn't care less about the Olsen twins otherwise (and I know I'm probably the only guy here who doesn't have their 18th birthday marked on a calendar somewhere), but anybody who goes after Acclaim makes them alright in my book. May they go bankrupt and take their copies of BMX XXX with them.

    Acclaim should declare they're now developing exclusively for the Phantom. The two deserve each other.
