    They were contracted to design the API for our new Internet-enabled touchscreen gaming network kiosks (world first at the time) and they were fucking useless. And then had the gall to present the piece of shit at the CGDG 1997, as a half-finished completely non-functional, but presented it like it was their own product and not a massive NDA violation. Presented like their own product which could be generically extended to other platforms. Fuck you Matt. Fuck you Monolith you fucking cunts.

      It sounds like your company could have sued them into oblivion. It’s a violated a non-disclosure agreement that should be the end of their company.

        You pay someone to do X with a contract; they

        • take your money
        • not do X
        • instead show the idea of X, which is yours, as THEIR product, which doesn’t even work ** voliating non-disclosure agreements in your contract ** doing untold damage to your business plans

        Yeah, I don’t know about anything else, but fuck Matt with a cactus.
