In an exclusive interview with GamerZines, TimeGate Studios' president Adel Chaveleh has listed the problems which he believed limited Section 8's success when it was released in 2009 and how Prejudice will be different.

For a limited time only, Bundle Stars, the direct-to-consumer company focusing on digital downloads, is launching its biggest PC game bundle to date. Gamers have the chance to download and own 12 standalone PC games for the price of just $5.
Venturebeat.com: Publishers and developers are like soap-opera characters. One day they’re working together, then the next they’re plotting how to take each other down.
That’s how developer TimeGate, which produced the Xbox Live Arcade first-person shooter Section 8, ended up owing publisher SouthPeak Interactive $7.3 million in damages, as originally reported by Polygon. This comes after the latest court appeal in the long-running case went in favor of SouthPeak.
Awww, this is horrible. This is going to destroy them. Southpeak, this is not cool. You could of just told them to pay your lawyer fees and then just let them be. I know what company I will be boycotting in the future.
Both sides are idiots here. TimeGate isn't innocent, they are the ones that originally opened the lawsuit. Their publisher just said "yeah? Well take this" and won.
Honestly I'm normally on the developers side, but it was stupid to do that and greedy. Just say "we are done" and walk away, find someone else to publish. If they want the crappy Section 8 license, let them have it.
The law is always on the side of the guys with more money.
In this case, the publisher paid more so now the developers have to give up the franchise and go bankrupt. Justice isn't served.
Accessibility wasn't the problem, it was the lack of fun and overall lack of good feeling controls....
The game was shit horrible. I couldn't bare stand playing it more than 10mins >.<
They have alot of issues to work out for their sequel
I enjoyed section 8 as much as i could, the premise for the game was excellent but very poorly executed. I like that the dev acknowledges that and is trying to make it better.
I don't know what the problem is that people have with the game. I personally thought it was pretty dang good. It may not be great, but it's still fun to play.
I'm looking forward to checking out Section 8 Prejudice. I just hope people will actually play it. =\
problem was it was to accessible, It had literal Auto Aim as a perk which could be used with snipers to 1 hit kill people......they basically had an aimbot as a perk which was just retarded.
