Bethesda, and Zenimax, getting sued for intentionally killing Rune 2 to protect their IP -> Here
tl;dr
2 weeks before the launch of Rune 2 formed a shell company to buy the development studio, and all its equipment, to deny the publisher (Ragnarok) access to the source code etc whilst shipping the lead dev off to a 'business' meeting across the country. Rune 2 had been described as Skyrim on steroids and the plaintiff is claiming that they intentionally, and underhandedly, killed the prospects of Rune 2 to protect the Elder Scrolls IP against a competitor.
