Lord British Wins His Lawsuit

Richard Garriott or that dude known as Lord British or even that guy who helped create Ultima ended up winning his lawsuit against his former employer NCsoft.

If you think he looks smug here imagine what he feels like now

For those of you that don't know Garriott brought a lawsuit against NCsoft because they terminated his stock options, though a clause was in his contract that if he voluntarily left the company his options would be terminated. Why was the lawsuit filed? He was in space when NCsoft said that his time with them was over and cited it as a voluntary resignation.

Space where people can't hear you rage from getting fired

So how did he win in the end? His lawyers argued that NCsoft said he left the company voluntarily when he reality he was fired. They even brought money into this saying that he had to sell his stock 2 1/2 years early which could've ended up costing him well a ton of cash.

Jurors decided that NCsoft breached the stock option agreement and awarded Garriott $28 million dollars. Now he can afford more space trips! Or making an mmo that is actually worth playing.
