Talk:Monolith Productions

Legal issues with Vivendi
does anyone have a summary of the issues with Vivendi regarding the rights to the FEAR franchise? Vivendi and monolith split, leaving Vivendi with the name 'FEAR'. the results were that Monolith could create sequels, but not under the name FEAR. hence Project Origin. 3rdTriangle (talk) 17:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Monolith games
That's what they call themselves, apparently. Check their website. 68.32.5.81 (talk) 05:09, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

name of the company

 * GameSpy: How did you decide on your company name?
 * Brian L. Goble -- V.P. Distributable Engine Technology: At the time we formed the company, DOS was still the OS of choice for games. Because of this, we knew we had to come up with a name that was 8 characters or less (for 8.3 filenames). We had been researching story and technology ideas for our demo CD and we were watching a lot of movies. "Monolith" came up, was semi mysterious, wasn't taken, and was 8 characters. Perfect.
