The director of upcoming The Texas Chain Saw Massacre game wants us to know that Hollywood licensing is “a total mess” so Gun Interactive probably can’t add your favourite Texas Chain Saw character into the game.
CEO Wes Keltner broke the news on Twitter, offering a “friendly reminder” to players that despite their demands, Gun can’t add just any character or location from the movie series’ considerable back catalogue because it doesn’t “have those rights”.
“Friendly reminder. We have the interactive rights to the 1974 film. We can’t put characters or locations in from other [Texas Chain Saw] films because we don’t have those rights,” Keltner explained. “Demanding we add them is not how Hollywood works. Licensing in general is usually a total mess.”
