SCi Entertainment has denied claims that they are being investigated for theft following complaints by Mithis Entertainment. The complaints alleged that SCi employees broke into offices in Hungary and stole software, including the source code for Battlestations: Midway.
Jane Cavanagh, CEO of SCi Entertainment said, "We would never normally comment upon such relatively minor matters and have only done so to clarify the position. We wish to correct what we believe are a number of misleading statements and material inaccuracies, particularly in this instance as allegations raised in the article appear to relate to a totally different and unrelated company or companies."
The article, which ran in the British newspaper, The Sunday Times, quoted Dr. Versitz Piroska, the lawyer for Mithis and MGE, as saying "A number of complaints have been filed with the Budapest police with regard to the illegal removal of software and hardware connected to the Battlestations: Midway, Joint Task Force and other games…unlawful penetration into Mithis’ computers, copying, sabotage and deletion of games’ data and infringement of IP rights."
