Lik-Sang has also been sued by Microsoft and Nintendo over the past couple of years, but for whatever reason, Lik-Sang chose not to mention those lawsuits in their story/press release. I guess those lawsuits from the other two console makers didn't require Lik-Sang to spend any money on lawyers for their defense.
What's interesting to me is the fact that the vast majority of the internet coverage about this story (including Joystiq's) has been solely reliant on that Lik-Sang story/press release, which can hardly be construed as unbiased.
It's certainly easy to kick a big dog like Sony when they're down (from a PR perspective), but hey, when all three console-makers have filed lawsuits against Lik-Sang for a variety of reasons, we certainly ought to consider the idea that Lik-Sang isn't entirely blameless for their own demise, and likewise, that those Sony lawsuits weren't solely responsible for Lik-Sang's current fiscal crisis.
Lik-sang responds: Sony "marched all over us"
