Last July, spacefaring game developer Richard Garriott won $28 million (http://www.joystiq.com/2010/07/30/richard-garriott-wins-28-million-in-ncsoft-suit/) in a court case against former employer (and Tabula Rasa publisher) NCSoft, claiming that he was forced to sell his stock in the company at a low point in the market following his termination. NCSoft appealed the decision, and, after more than a year of further legal struggle, an appellate decision was reached in the 5th Circuit Court: Richard's getting paper.
"It would be unjust to allow NCsoft to sit back during trial, observe Garriott's litigation strategy, and then demand a new trial on damages when it dislikes the verdict," the ruling reads. Garriott's former victory was not only upheld -- NCSoft now owes him $32 million with interest and attorney fees. With that kind of cash, he could buy back his old manor (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/19/richard-garriott-is-selling-the-manor/), and build, like, five new manors on top of it. Or he could just go into space again; in the long run, that's probably the better investment.Continue reading Richard Garriott wins lawsuit against NCsoft (again) (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/25/richard-garriott-wins-lawsuit-against-ncsoft-again/)
