Silicon Knights lawsuit against Epic Games in regards to the Unreal 3 Engine took another turn as a judge has ordered all games made using the engine from them to be destroyed.
According to the court order, five games were specifically listed due to claims the source code for these games contained plagiarized Unreal 3 code. Silicon Knights have been ordered to destroy all unsold copies and also cover the costs needed for the destruction.
The games listed for destruction were:
* Too Human
* X-Men: Destiny
* The Sandman
* The Box/Ritualist
* Siren in the Maelstrom
In regards to X-Men: Destiny, they would be destroying all copies that were not taken care of from an earlier dump by Activision who was upset at the abysmal sales of the game.
So far the total results from Silicon Knights' lawsuit against Epic Games was their initial lawsuit being tossed, a counter-suit which they lost at the cost of $4.5 million, the return of all Unreal 3 engine assets, a drastic studio reduction, and now more money needed to be spent to cover the recent court decision.
