Beyoncé is no Santa Claus

Last year Beyoncé and game developer, Gate Five collaborated to form a dance game titled, Starpower: Beyoncé. In this game you would have been dancing to her greatest hits, but the game came to an halt due to their differences. These two had a feud around Christmas time, but this matter has surfaced recently, due to Gate Five's lawsuit.

Beyoncé, allegedly made a demand for more money from Gate Five (apparently the $87 million made last year was just not enough). Her demand seemed unreasonable in the eyes of Gate Five, who saw it as a contract breech and sued her.

Her action caused the company to lay off 70 employees, as well as harm the company financially, just a week before Christmas. What a great present.

But it looks like Gate Five might be receiving a late Christmas gift. In Gate Five's lawsuit they claim they are entitled to the initial $6.7 million invested into the game project and an additional $100 million for projected earnings.

I guess this time around the Court will be deciding whose naughty and nice.
