In-Fusio files a lawsuit against Microsoft on Halo game

Software giants and the makers of the Xbox series of gaming consoles Microsoft signed on a deal in late 2005 with game developer In-Fusio to develop a version of Halo for mobile phones and other devices.

However, that deal has now gone sour as In-Fusio is now suing the company for breach of contract.

The France based videogame company has filed this lawsuit in a U.S. District Court in Seattle.

The company claims that they had agreed to make four payments to Microsoft of $500,000 for the exclusive rights to develop the mobile game. The designs of the game were subject to approval from Microsoft but the contract signed between the two companies meant that Microsoft couldn’t reject its proposals without reasonable grounds.

In-Fusio is further claiming that they had submitted several game designs to Microsoft last year but they did not respond back in a timely manner. Later on, Microsoft turned them down without any support to help develop the game based on the popular gaming franchise.

Microsoft now has until Feb. 1 to respond to In-Fusio’s complaint.
