We know that legal squabbles can be a little dry, but a new conflict between Section 8 creator TimeGate and Paramount at least has an interesting story behind it to spice things up. According to a suit recently filed by TimeGate, the two companies met several times to discuss business opportunities related to the game. But after said meetings, Paramount allegedly cut off contact with TimeGate and, three days later, announced a new interactive project entitled "Section 8."
We asked TimeGate for further comment, a request which its lawyers advised it to decline. It's a shame, too, because we had a great suggestion for their next legal battle.

Chnage the name to Section 9, avoid the law suit, release your game and watch the profit roll in.

That might infringe on IP rights of Ghost in the Shell. The agency she works for is Section 9.

it's called section 8 because that's the designation for military dischargees discharged because of mental insanity, implying that the soldiers of section 8 would have to be mental unstable to plummet from space in armored suits
