If they signed a contract that the winner will be payed X amount in Y time, IGN would be in breach of contract and the injured parties can seek restitution. I'd ask Plansix, that guy knows a lot about law. The problem is that I will bet you whatever contract the players agreed to was with an entity IPL was housed in, separately from IGN, and IPL doesn't exist anymore. It has no assets. So even if the player has a claim (it would be for some type of breach of contract), and even if the IPL entity still exists, you could sue it and win and still get nothing, because there's probably nothing to get. And Blizzard did not purchase IPL; they purchased the ASSETS of IPL. So the liability to Leenock is still with IPL. Neither is IGN liable, unless again, IPL was housed in the same entity that owns the general IGN assets, which is extremely, extremely unlikely. What Leenock would have needed to do is initiate a lawsuit against IPL BEFORE the sale to Blizzard and then he'd have some options once IPL tried to sell all of their assets to Blizzard (or against the cash IPL got in the sale). I'd bet that Leenock has no effective legal recourse; his best bet would be to publicize the issue and hope that IGN pays him just to make the bad PR go away. | ||
