New OpFlash Not a Sequel, Says Bohemia
This week Bohemia Interactive, makers of ArmA and the original (and now former) developers of Operation Flashpoint series, sent a letter to the attorneys for UK-based developer and publisher Codemasters protesting the company’s marketing of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising as the official sequel to the game it developed.
The objection is to Codemasters use of terms such as the “return of” or “official sequel to” the Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis - the game Bohemia Interactive developed. The muckity muck is due to a weird deal that the two companies signed: Bohemia holds the rights to the actual game content and technology, while Codemasters holds the rights to the name “Operation Flashpoint.”
According to Miami-based lawfirm Kluger, Peretz, Kaplan & Berlin, in the license agreement with Codemasters Bohemia Interactive “expressly reserved the exclusive right” to develop sequels to the original OFP game and Codemasters acknowledged that Bohemia owns all the intellectual property in the game except the name.
The letter goes onto say in many, many words that Bohemia wants fans to know that it is not developing the new Operation Flashpoint game, but Codemasters’ marketing efforts are sure to cause some confusion.
The games we're pulling together in this feature won't appear on any of those best-of lists and get confused looks when you mention them in conversation. Just because time has forgotten these titles, though, doesn't mean you should forget them, too.
