Elder Scrolls Developer Holds Star Trek License

Gamasutra reports that Bethesda Softworks will have the rights to make Star Trek games on all the platforms available. From the article: "The move follows the high profile legal confrontation between previous license holder Activision and Viacom, in which Activision accused Viacom of letting 'the once proud Star Trek franchise stagnate and decay.' The disagreement was apparently brought to an amicable conclusion in March of last year, at which time it was implied that Activision would retain the license until 2009. However, following Bethesda's unveiling of new game Star Trek: Legacy, from Empire Earth II and Star Trek: Armada II developer Mad Doc Software, Bethesda has now confirmed it owns the game license for all television and movie incarnations of the science fiction series."

Of course, if you watched enough TNG, you know that there's only one proper intermix ratio, 1:1, and otherwise should have destroyed your ship.

I've watched (and rewatched) more TNG than I care to admit, and the nerdiness of this post still knocked the wind out of me. I'm going to have a bruise on my chest.

Bethesda has now confirmed it owns the game license for all television and movie incarnations of the science fiction series.

So the game license for stage incarnations is still up for grabs?
