The german videogame site 4players.de reviewed the new 'Alone in the Dark' game and gave 68%. As we know that's quite a low score and influences your decision to buy the game or not. 4players said that 'Alone in the Dark' has a lame story and bad dialogue besides some technical issues like clipping and ****ty artificial intelligence.
Atari wasn't happy to hear that and decided to threaten 4players to force them to take the review offline. Atari says that the review is based on a pirate downloaded version and is only set online to make profit through clicks. Atari wants to sue 4players about 50.000 € if they do not take the review offline.
Of course 4players didn't take it offline and 4players didn't test some half baked leaked beta internet ****, they tested the final retail version.
This is a shame. And this is really foolish, Atari, cause we live in times of the internet and soon the whole world will know about your mafia methods.
I don't know if the game is really that bad, but Atari pretty much proved that with their behaviour.
