Viacom, Activision Stand Down From Red Alert

GameIndustry.biz has the word that Viacom and Activision has settled their dispute over the Star Trek license. The settlement was reached last Friday in a confidential agreement that ends a series of suits begun back in 2003. From the article: "If the two are collaborating on new Star Trek projects, however, they remain under wraps. The last Star Trek game announcement came from online game developer Perpetual Entertainment, which announced in September that it was producing a massively multiplayer game based on the sci-fi series."

Let's hope Berman's hand isn't in the MMORPG. I don't want to be defending the Federation from Nazis.

Hard to say. There haven't been any recent announcements about work on the MMORPG. I think the MMORPG market is currently saturated leaving little room for newcomers even if they have a big name license like Star Trek. And given that the performance of Enterprise has tarnished the brand a bit, this wouldn't be a good time. Still, there could be money to be made. If I were them, I would wait a couple of years before seriously pushing the project forward.
