Paramount and Puzo estate settle Godfather game lawsuit
A lawsuit filed against Paramount Pictures by the Mario Puzo estate, which claims that the company owes $1 million to the deceased writer's family for sales and rentals of the 2006 video game adaptation of The Godfather, was settled out of court Friday. Electronic Arts, developer and publisher of the title, wasn't involved in the suit, as Paramount was responsible for handling the film's licensing rights. The terms of the settlement have yet to be explicitly explained, but we're guessing Paramount made the Puzo estate an offer that they found impossible to turn down. Wait, we mean -- dammit!

If ea had nothing to do with this than how is this gaming related?

"for sales and rentals of the 2006 video game adaptation of The Godfather"
it's a lawsuit about the video game, not the movie.

The game sucked, but at least it had the voices of some of the original actors from the movies.

apart from Al Pacino, that made Michael Corleone seem sucky in the game.
