If this guy somehow stops AC3 from releasing I swear to god I'll become an assassin and take him down assassino style, then say Requesca de pace xD

I read through the entire document, and it's ridiculous.
He calls copyright infringement based on the tiniest similarities.
E.g.
AC features gods Juno, Jupiter, Minerva
Link has a character relive a memory involving Jesus.

AC discusses a fetus interfering with memories.
Link discusses a fetus getting memories passed onto them.

It's impossible for Ubisoft to lose this case.

ahaha its actually a joke. when did ac mention anything about a fetus? was that with one of the previous subjects?

Now I feel obligated to buy a Ubi title just to help them win the case...

This really winds me up so much. How can this guy claim that much in damages?

Damages mean that he feels that because Ubisoft have done something remotely similar to him, but better, that he has LOST that money. Damages would mean he's lost that revenue.

I don't think a book would have brought him £5 million in lost revenue. Absolutely idiot he is.

Funny how it's took him until now to do this, he's waited until Assassin's Creed is at it's most popular and worth the most buck.

Ubisoft has a team of lawyers working for them to insure all copyright issues, they can afford top-end lawyers to defend them in court.

this author has probably been to loads of lawyers and has only just found one who will take the case, this lawyer probably isn't that good.

Yeah this guy's argument seems paper-thin. I don't think it will have any effect on the production of AC3.

[frogger504]

You think this guy even has a case?

If what he says is true yeah.

Hey, while I love AC if they stole his work and made a billion dollar game franchise off of his story then he deserves to be compensated. I say they hire him as Lead Writer, if it was his story after all. I'm curious about this book. I'll be reading it soon.

Ubisoft need to go down for this. How could they do this.

His book has nothing to do with AC, it has to do with spirituality, your soul, and God. It's a Christian Sci-Fi book, not an action-adventure sci-fi story. From the comments made on the book and the synopsis, the book isn't about a long age battle between the Assassin Order and the Templar Order, but it's about proving the existence of the soul and God.

As a Christian, the book sounds interesting, but also as a Christian I will not support him by buying his book because of what he is doing, which is basically trying to steal Ubisofts money. I bet one of his friends son's told him about AC and he probably thought that now is his chance to claim money, I mean google search him and you'll see all his ridiculous patents.

So is he going to sue the Hashashins too? for being assassins? Oh and also sue every scientists who has theories on genetic memories? I mean, it's bad enough that Ubisoft is getting sued for this, but by a Christian? You gotta be kidding me, just making us Christians look bad now.

This guy has no solid bases for his lawsuit, viewing genetic memories through a machine is a very old scientific theory and a very common human thought, for example, when I was a young kid I owned a virtual boy and I would play all the time and I thought that it would be cool if I could see the memories of my ancestors and play them like a video game and I would pretend that's what I was doing. Yes, I did actually think about that before AC and before I did research and found out it was an actual theory. No, I'm not lying about this and I'm pretty sure some of you had thought about that too. (I didn't sleep much as a kid because of those scientific thoughts and questions in my mind haha) but that doesn't mean I'm gonna sue Ubi because I thought about it first, it's a human thought that lots of creative people have.
