Variety: ActiBlizzard blocking Brutal Legend move

Of all the games left in limbo by the merging of Activision and Blizzard, we're perhaps most dismayed by the current state of Brütal Legend, which at the moment is complete stasis. Yes, it seems like Double Fine's rock-action opus just can't find a home -- readers may remember that it was recently brushed off by MTV -- and now, we might have an inkling as to why. Speaking to Variety, an unnamed source at Double Fine said that Activision is actually "blocking" Brütal Legend from making the move to a new publisher. What remains unclear is why the publishing giant, which did not comment on the matter, is taking this course of action.

Whatever is going on, we hope someone sorts it out soon, because we wants some Brütal Legend.

And people think EA is the devil. Look at these guys, they have an original game sitting in their hands and they don't do anything with it because it doesn't have the words "gutar" or "hero" on it.

Oh man what a load. I guess for this we can say thanks to the millions of idiots who buy crap like guitar hero.

What if we all stormed ActiBlizzard's office dressed in metal gear and "Mob Rules" blaring on 80s style boomboxes and demanded a deal get done on this game?

Actually, that just kinda sounds like fun in general.
