Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios Lawsuit Settlement Reached
A partial settlement of $12.5 million USD has been awarded by a judge in a case against 38 Studios, the former game company of legendary Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling.
Schilling's company, which released Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, folded a few months after the game released. The company had been awarded a $75 million loan by the state of Rhode Island's Economic Development Corporation.
While some of Schilling's co-defendants have settled so far, including this most recent settlement, Schilling still is fighting the lawsuit.
The complaint against the defendants says that 38 Studios failed to inform the EDC that, according to its own internal projections, the studio was destined to fail.

However, this scene is said to relate to the standalone film rather than Episode VIII.
